Categories

You will also be able to add personalized sub-categories within the category and edit transactions in a given category for better analysis. For example, within the kids category you may add a sub-category for uniforms.

Tags

With the tag feature you will be able to group transactions in different categories that relate to each other.

Why are they useful?
Imagine that you managed to save $1,200 to remodel your kid's room. If you add a tag in each transaction related to your remodeling the tool will group all of them. This way you control your paint, furniture and tools expenses in an organized manner. It helps you be on top of your expenses and be fair to the budget established for the remodeling.

Notes

Rules

To change a transaction from the pre-established category to another of your preference you have to create a rule. After the rule is created the transaction will fall in the category of your preference. For example, you may create a rule that states that every time you go to your favorite food truck the transaction falls in the Fast Food category instead of in the Restaurant one.
