I'm considering using MD for tracking out income and expenses related to a short term rental property we have. The Categories associated w this could include plenty that already exist within the std account profile/set up but likely will include unique ones or at least may want to Parent/child them when related to the STR vs the other personal accounts currently being tracked in MD.

Can custom categories be set up in MD for just a single bank account or are they overarching and pertain / available to EVERY account ?

Thank you.

Mike

    Categories are always available globally, you can not restrict them to an account in the software.

    There is nothing stopping you from creating categories which you only use with one bank account. I have a lot of Schwab:Dividend. things for example.
