Category dialog allows you to modify the following properties of category:
Name
Name of the category. For example, Food or Wages. If a category has this name and does not have a subname, it is called parent or root category.
When category name is changed, AceMoney may need to rename its dependent categories. If changed category is a parent category, then all its subcategories will change the first half of the name. If it is a subcategory, then AceMoney will change its parent category and all the subcategories of that parent category. However, the change will not happen if one or more categories with the same name already exist.
Subname
Name of subcategory. If the category name is Food, then a subname might be Groceries or Dining Out.
Code
User defined category code for internal use.
Budget Limit
A budget limit for the category. The amount of budgeted limit is how much money you plan to spend or receive by this category during one budget period.
Enter the amount and use radio buttons Expense or Income to indicate if you expect to spend or receive money. A selection of income or expense works for non-zero budgeted amount only!
Budget Period
A duration of budget period. This period of time describes how much time you need to spend or receive the amount of money specified above.
