Worked examples use sample data, not your account. Reference screenshots show the current app controls in a Windows preview; their example amounts may differ from this lesson. Android system prompts vary by device.

Step 1

Review aggregate inclusion

  1. Read the setup field
  2. Enter your own agreed amount
  3. A target is not a transaction

Use Exclude from Dashboard totals on a Savings or Debt category when appropriate.

The switch affects aggregate presentation, not an expense-category limit.

Step 2

Exclude without deleting

  1. Read the setup field
  2. Enter your own agreed amount
  3. A target is not a transaction

Turn exclusion on and save the existing category.

The category and both saved transactions remain; no bank account is cancelled.

Step 3

Keep the tracker available

  1. Check the verified saved state
  2. Read the highlighted value
  3. Setup is separate from money movement

The verified saved category remains available in Categories while aggregate summaries honour exclusion.

Exclusion is different from disabling future use or deleting an unused category.
