How do I create my own category?

mymoney247 has a create your own category feature that allows you to create your own category within any transaction group (this feature is currently available in Desktop only).

If you are considering using custom categories you might also find transaction Tagging useful.  Tagging allows you to define your own Tags and apply those tags to transactions in any category. You can use transaction Tags to analyse your spending across Categories.  You might use transaction tags to track things like tax deductible expenses or the expenses related to a specific project like a home renovation or a holiday.
