Write a rule
- Open Settings › Money › Rules and tap New rule.
- Under WHEN, set what has to be true: the text contains, the card or account ends with, the amount is at least or at most.
- Under THEN, set what happens: a category, the account to file it in, a name for the shop, treat it as a move, or ask you before saving.
- Decide whether it should also fix entries that already match. That's off by default.
- Tap Save rule.
When: what a rule can match
- The text contains
- Matched against what the bank actually wrote, not the tidied name.
- Card or account ends
- The last digits a bank text prints.
- At least
- Matches this amount or more.
- At most
- Matches this amount or less.
Then: what a rule can do
- Category
- Files it under the category you pick.
- File it in
- Puts it in the account you pick.
- Call the shop
- Gives the shop a clear name, like Fawry instead of a code.
- Treat as a move
- Records it as a move to another of your accounts.
- Ask me before saving
- Nothing is saved until you say so
What Pockito picks up on its own
Picked up from your corrections. No rule needed, and your rules above still come first.
Questions
Does a new rule change what I already filed?
Not unless you ask it to. A rule changes what comes next, not what you already filed.
Which rule wins if two match?
The higher one. Rules read top to bottom and the first match wins.
