You can use tags to indicate any type of systematic information about your expenses. For example, you could use the tag "amex" to indicate your American Express purchases, "cash" for your cash expenditures, "clientx" for expenses related to Client X, "deductible" for your tax deductible expenses, and so forth.
Once your expenses are tagged you can search for them and analyze them via Search option on the Expenses page or via the Tags page.
To include tags in your expense submissions include a "#" in front of each tag, or use the word "tags" followed by your tags. For example:
- Lunch $35 with Jack #meals #clientx (meals and clientx are the tags)
- Taxi 24 office to airport tags transportation cash (transportation and cash are the tags)
- Groceries $19.31 #personal (personal is the tag)
- mileage 55 customer visit
- property inspection 35 miles
- lunch 29 eur with Jack
- taxi 19 gbp
- taxi $18 yesterday - you don't need the "date" keyword if it's just yesterday :-)
- taxi 18 date last wed - you can generally specify dates in any reasonable way. "last wed", "next monday", etc, all work.
- taxi 18 date 4/19/2010 - you can specify the date as an actual date. In US format only at the moment (month/day/year).
- taxi 18 San Jose airport to hotel date last wed - you can include any notes as usual after the amount (in this case "San Jose airport to hotel")
