Updating Mileage for the New Year Follow

When looking at your account in the New Year, you'll notice the mileage icon is no longer available. This is because there is currently not a Mileage category for the previous year listed in your account. The mileage that you were previously using most likely expired at the end of the year.

This article will show you, a Tallie Administrator, how to add a new Mileage category for the new year.

Step 1: Login to your Tallie account and on your homescreen, click the Settings icon.

Step 2: Click Manage Lists.

Step 3: Click the Expense Categories tab.

If you have Groups turned on, you'll want to ensure that your new mileage category is added to any applicable groups.
