Typing Category For Easier Sorting

farm_astronaut

Hi Simplifi Team!

I'm new to the tool (moving from Monarch) and something I've noticed we're unable to do is type-to-find categories.

When adding "Tags" I'm able to just type keywords to find the desired tag but unfortunately that's not available for the "Category" column. Is there any settings that I can change or maybe use this post as a feature request?

I believe would definitely help users with a high transaction volume to sort their expenses faster.

I appreciate your time.

Hello @farm_astronaut,

Thanks for posting to the Community!

I'm not sure I'm following the issue. You can type into the Category field and search for existing Categories or create new ones, just as you can with the Tag field —

With that said, please provide more details as to what specifically is occurring so we can get a clearer picture of what's going on.

[EDIT]

I deleted my first response because it was all kinds of messed up and I didn't want to add confusion. @farm_astronaut can you telll us where you are seeing this in the app, whether you're using mobile or web, and what OS/browser you may be using?

Hi Natalie,

Thank you for the video demonstration. I realized that I was clicking the "Category" dropdown and then typing. That wasn't working.

After seeing your video I realized that if I highlight then type it works. Interesting!

Thank you for your help and time!
