How do I categorise a transaction?
Your banking transactions appear in Transactions automatically. Give each one a category and a property, and your
reports stay accurate.
Quick way: in the table, select Categorize or Assign property on a transaction and pick from the list. To find
everything that still needs attention, use the Missing category and Missing property quick filters.

Full details: select the transaction to open its details, then set:
- Property, the property it belongs to.
- Category. Only categories that fit the direction of the money are offered, so money in shows revenue categories and
money out shows expense categories.
- Note, for anything you'll want to remember later.
- Attachments, for receipts and invoices (Pro).
- Mark as reviewed, once you're happy with it.
Transaction details drawer
Transactions in an account linked to a property are tagged to that property automatically. Rent collected through
Roofteller is categorised for you: rent goes to Rents, fees go to Fees & Other Revenue, and deposits go to Security
Deposits.
To tidy up several transactions at once, select them and choose Mark as reviewed or Delete. Deleted transactions go to
Trash.
