New Feature Request: Tags

Postby 4u2guess » Tue Apr 21, 2009 3:39 pm

I see that My Money is very close to being the best personal finance program available at any price.

However, there is one more feature that many of the others have that My Money is missing.

In Quicken and some others it is called Tags. This is functionally very similar to what Outlook and Lotus Organizer call Categories. I personally do not like the word tag, but category is already used in this context. Key would probably be confusing to database specialists. At least Tag would be familiar to users of competitive programs.

Essentially, it is a list of key words that can be associated to a transaction to allow another dimension of selection for reports. There would be no limit to the number of tags that could be associated to any one transaction.

An example would be a list of vehicles that one could associate to automobile transactions to allow reporting costs for individual vehicles.
Or a list of relatives to subtotal gift expenditures per person at Christmas.

For those examples, it would be possible to use subcategories, but tags would be simpler, as they would not appear in the chart of accounts.

We are working on tags, this has been requested repeatedly. It should be available in one or two build cycles.
