Add, edit or remove tags

Tags are a quick way to group transactions across different categories.

For example, you could create tags like #train, #flight and #fuel for transactions that all fall under the Transport category but that you want to track separately.

You can view your spending by tag by selecting any tag on a transaction.

Adding tags

If your transaction does not already have a tag, follow these steps:

1. Select the transaction you want to add a tag to
2. Select Add tags
3. Type in your tag and press Save
4. Choose whether you want the change to apply to that specific transaction or also to similar transactions

If your transaction already has tags and you want to add more, follow these steps:

1. Select the transaction you want to add a tag to
2. Select the Tags section
3. Select the blank space next to the existing tag
4. Type in your tag and press Save
5. Choose whether you want the change to apply to that specific transaction or also to similar transactions

Removing tags

1. Select the transaction the tag is applied to
2. Select the Tags section
3. Select the tag you want to remove
4. Select the backspace button on your keyboard
5. Select Save
6. Choose whether you want the change to apply to that specific transaction or also to similar transactions
