Can you add Tags to a column in expenses?

I add a tag to vehicle expenses so I can see in reports later, but the tags reporting and visibility is limited. Can you add this to a column or a filter list?

Yes, you can add tags to your expenses by navigating in the +Create menu, Slsjr2. 

 

Here’s how to do it:
 

  1. Go to the +Create menu.
  2. Select Expenses under Vendors.
  3. From the transaction, you can add Tags.
  4. Enter the transaction information.
  5. Finally, click on Save and Close.

 

You can generate the Transaction List by Vendor. These reports offers a detailed overview of all your expenses, including a Tags column that indicates whether a tag was applied to each expense by filtering the report.

 

To run the Transaction List by Vendor report:

 

  1. Navigate to the Reports menu.
  2. In the search field, search for Transaction List by Vendor.
  3. On the Filter option select the tag names you created.

     

After generating the report, you'll see a list of all your expenses within that time frame, including a Tags column that shows whether each expense has been properly tagged or not. This will help you ensure that all expenses have been appropriately categorized and that none have been missed.

Not what I'm asking. 

 

I want to be able to see the tags in a column under expenses and income.  There's no option to add tags as a column header. There's and no option to search for it and no option to even report by tag name.
