After your transactions have imported into 17hats, you may begin categorizing transactions by clicking on "Select a category". 

Scroll or search for the category you want to use. 

The search bar will dynamically update the choices below as you type. Words that are Bold are title headers and they cannot be used as a category.

Click on "Verify" to assign the category. 

Tip: You may speed up the process by categorizing multiple transactions first then clicking "Verify". 

17hats will then confirm all selections.

Tip: You may want to customize your categories to better suit the needs of your business. Please consult an accountant or an experienced bookkeeper before doing so.
