Save the file and exit Notepad. Open TransAct to verify the change
has taken effect. The previously-named Refuse category should now be
named Product.
Example: Adding Categories
Let’s assume that in addition to the two categories TransAct automati-
cally installed, you need an additional category called Area. You can
configure up to two additional categories, but we’ll only use one for
this example. It doesn’t matter which empty category you choose to
edit.
We’ll use Category 3 for our example. Run the Notepad program
found in Windows Accessories group. Select File | Open. Find
transact.ini in the Windows sub-directory and open the file. Scroll
through the text until you find the following lines.
[Category 3]
Title=
SubCat1=
SubCat1Title=
SubCat2=
SubCat2Title=
Position the mouse I-beam after Title= and type the word Area, just as
you would like it displayed in TransAct. For example, Title=Area.
Save the file and exit Notepad. If you did not quit TransAct before
making changes to the .ini file, do so now. The changes made to the
.ini file will take effect when you reopen TransAct. When you return to
TransAct and select Admin | Categories, your new category heading
appears in the menu. Select your new Area category to begin adding
items.
Example: Adding Multiple Sub-Categories
OK, let’s try something harder.
