Sub accounts in money

The Money Account Basics is a good page (and most of that info wasn’t there when I started using TT). My ‘without knowing’ comment was more philosophical - what kind of accounts to set up, how to budget, how to use Categories (or is it Tags?), how to balance, reconcile, etc. For example, I put a number in the description of the non-scout accounts - “1 General Fund”, “2 Bank Activity”, “3 Scout O Rama”, etc. so they would sort in the order I want to see them. It took more than a year for us to come up with the Bank Activity account. Sometimes I edit an entry and the corresponding entry also updates, sometimes it doesn’t. Tags (or is it Categories) used to be open text, now you have to create one before using it (and am I using them as intended?).

I think a process or white paper could be created to explain how the money accounts are intended to be used in addition to the Basics page.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE TroopTrack - we’d be back in the dark ages without it. I’d just like to see the strategy here.
