FAQPage Schema

How do I manage transaction categories from the Montte CLI?▼

To manage transaction categories from the Montte CLI, you can list, filter, create, archive, and permanently remove expense or income categories using structured commands. It supports local execution and proper handling of category hierarchies with soft-delete semantics.

How do I create a subcategory under an existing parent category in Montte?▼

You create a subcategory by using the Montte CLI to initiate category creation with an optional parent parameter. This forms a hierarchical relationship, allowing structured organization of income or expense subcategories under defined parent categories.

How does archiving categories preserve historical transaction data?▼

Archiving categories performs a soft delete that hides them from active views while preserving historical data. This maintains transaction integrity without permanently removing the category records from your local execution environment until explicit removal.

Can I filter transaction categories by type and hierarchical level?▼

Yes, you can filter transaction categories by type, specifically income or expense, and view their hierarchical level. The Montte CLI supports listing parent and subcategories separately for quick retrieval and maintenance.

What is the difference between archiving and permanent removal of categories in the CLI?▼

Archiving applies soft-delete semantics to hide categories from active views while keeping historical data, whereas permanent removal deletes the category entirely. The Montte CLI supports both workflows for structured category management.
