Budget categories and items

Organise the budget into categories and items, add comments, filter and reorder them.

Each category (venue, catering, photographer…) holds the items you pay for.

  • Add new item under a category adds an item; click its title to rename it and type its cost.
  • Add category at the bottom adds a category; you can choose its icon.
  • The round icon with an exclamation mark next to an item adds a comment — a contact, a deadline, a note. It shows when you point at the item, and stays once the item has a comment.
  • Drag categories and items to reorder them.
  • Filter finds an item by name.
  • The bin icon deletes an item or a category.
The Catering category: the pointer on Food and Service shows its drag handle, the comment icon and the bin; below, Add new item and the category’s totals

More columns

In Settings → Show advanced options you can add Estimated cost (to compare plan and reality), Amound Paid / Due (see Track payments) and Always display a totals for each group.
