The Transaction Tagging feature lets you organize bank transactions using custom tags. Apply tags manually to individual transactions or create automated If/Then rules that tag transactions based on description, amount, date, or account.

Manual Tagging

Adding Tags to Transactions

Step 1: Navigate to the transaction table and locate the "Tags" column

Step 2: Click in the Tags field for any transaction row

Step 3: Choose from existing tags in the dropdown or type a new tag name

Step 4: For new tags, select "Create [tag name]" from the dropdown

Step 5: Tags are immediately saved and applied to the transaction

Managing Tags

  • Multiple Tags: You can apply multiple tags to a single transaction
  • Remove Tags: Click the "×" next to any tag to remove it
  • Reuse Tags: Once created, tags become available for all transactions
  • Instant Save: All tag changes are saved automatically

Automated Tagging Rules

DocuClipper can apply tags automatically using If/Then rules — for example, "If description contains 'AMEX' then tag as Card Payment." Rules apply to existing and new transactions across the project.

Example Use Case

Financial Investigation Scenario: Automatically tag high-value transactions for review

Rule Setup:

  • Condition: Amount "Greater Than" 1000
  • Action: Tag with "high-value"

Result: Any transaction over $1,000 will automatically receive the "high-value" tag, making it easy to filter and review large transactions during investigations.

Common Use Cases

  • Amount-based tagging: Flag transactions above or below certain thresholds
  • Vendor identification: Tag transactions from specific companies or payees
  • Expense categorization: Automatically categorize recurring expenses
  • Investigation markers: Flag suspicious patterns or unusual activity
  • Workflow management: Track review status or approval stages

Filtering by Tags

Using Tag Filters:

  1. Above the transaction table, click the "Tags" filter button
  2. Select the tag you want to filter by from the dropdown
  3. Click "Apply" to show only transactions with that tag
  4. Use the "×" icon to clear the filter when finished

This feature helps organize transactions for analysis, compliance, and investigation purposes.
