Reviewing & Correcting Categories
After uploading a statement, you'll want to review the AI's categorization and correct any mistakes.
The Review tab
Navigate to the Review tab to see all your transactions grouped by category. Each transaction shows:
- Merchant name and description
- Amount (debits in black, credits in green)
- Date of transaction
- Transaction Splitter - scissors icon
- Edit transaction name - pencil icon
- Hide transaction - eye icon
Changing a category
Tap on any transaction to expand it, then tap the category to open the category picker. Categories are organized by section:
- Business expenses — CRA T2125 deductible categories
- Personal — non-deductible personal spending
- Income — revenue from clients and other sources
- Account — transfers, payments, and non-transaction items
Merchant memory
When you correct a category, GigBooks saves this as a merchant mapping. Next time you upload a statement with the same merchant, it will use your correction instead of asking the AI.
Bulk corrections
When you change the category for a recurring transaction GigBooks lets you correct groups of similar transactions at once. For example:
- "Apply to all transactions? There are 3 other transactions from 'SERVICE CHARGE'. Apply 'Interest & Bank Charges' to all of them, or just this one?", allowing you to have more control of the categorization process
Tips
- Focus on the flagged items first — high-confidence items are usually correct
- Use the search/filter to find specific merchants
- Your corrections persist across sessions and future uploads
