Westara

How does Westara remember categories for payees (rules)?

In short

With rules: a rule remembers something like "this shop is groceries", so you don't have to categorise the same payee every month.

Creating and managing rules

  • When importing or in a booking, tap Remember after choosing the category.
  • Under Household → Rules, edit, reorder or turn off rules.
  • Preview matches: current rows that would match, newest first.
  • Apply to history: re-categorise older matches if you want, and update totals.

Matching uses the counterparty and the booking text.

What rules don't do

Rules only set a category. They don't hide rows from other household members, split a booking, move ownership or invent amounts. They never overwrite a split booking.

In the app

  • Rules

You’ll find these areas in Westara after signing in.
