<\/p>\nIn Toshl Finance, every expense or income gets a category, so you can quickly note what you\u2019ve been spending on.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you first sign up on Toshl, your account comes pre-filled with some of the more commonly used categories and tags, which should cover most of your needs. That way, you can start using it immediately and not worry about setting up an entire tagging system from scratch.<\/p>\n
Our financial lives can differ quite a bit, so it\u2019s important to keep this system versatile. That\u2019s why you can add new, custom categories and tags to fit whichever purpose your spending goes towards. Every existing category or tag can also be edited.<\/p>\n
To keep this categorisation system easily customisable and universal, Toshl does\u2019t add icons to any of the categories in advance. But this doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t liven up your Toshl account with icons yourself.<\/p>\n
No need to get out your drawing pencil or start looking for images around the internet. Luckily we have emoji! A handy collection of icons, already there in a virtual keyboard near your fingertips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Simple, when adding an expense add a new category or tag. When typing in the name, switch the keyboard to emoji and tap in whichever title and emoji you want.<\/p>\n
\n You can add an emoji icon in addition to your text category or tag. If you’re more courageous and sure to understand your symbolism later on, you can also opt to save categories with only emoji instead.<\/p>\n At the moment, categories and tags can be added in both native mobile apps (Android<\/a>, iOS<\/a>) and web apps, but editing existing categories and tags<\/a> is only available in the web app.<\/p>\n To add emoji to\u00a0your existing categories, log in on toshl.com<\/a>\u00a0then go to Expenses \/ Edit categories<\/a>.<\/p>\n Click on a category or a tag inside a category, click Edit next to it and fill in the name with the emoji.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n Press the keyboard keys control<\/strong> + command<\/strong> + space bar<\/strong> simultaneously and the emoji panel will pop up.<\/p>\n You can also click Edit<\/strong> in the menu bar<\/strong> on top of the screen, then click “Emoji &\u00a0Symbols<\/strong>“<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click the touch keyboard icon<\/strong> in the bottom right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n The on-screen keyboard<\/strong> will open up. Click the smiley face emoji<\/strong> icon, just left of the space bar.<\/p>\n Emoji keyboard will open up. You can change emoji categories in the bottom row.<\/p>\n Once you’ve done a bit of editing your categories can look like this:<\/p>\n The new categories will liven up your expense adding and lists as well.<\/p>\n Any changes you make to your categories and tags in the web app will automatically sync to your iOS and Android mobile apps.<\/p>\n As makers of mobile and desktop operating systems each design and use their own set of emoji, the style might look a bit different when seeing them on a different platform. The\u00a0emoji will be the correct ones, with the same meaning, but the styling of the icon might vary a bit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’ve set up a very nice custom system with your emoji we’d love to see it. Perhaps we’d even publish it in a future tutorial or post, with your express permission, of course. If you’ve made such a creation, please send it to support@toshl.com<\/a>. Can’t wait to see what emoji combinations you come up with!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Toshl Finance, every expense or income gets a category, so you can quickly note what you\u2019ve been spending on.
