How do I use the 'Projects' feature to automatically label expenses?

Question

Accepted Answer

Save time when managing and reconciling expenses by creating 'Projects' - your custom project label (as well as the associated accounting code) will be automatically assigned to any expenses incurred within a specified time period, for one or more selected cards. You can then run and export comprehensive statements for your project.

This is ideal for automatically allocating expenses to a particular Yacht, Charter, music tour, or production.
