Start as with a normal entry
Open the book. A standing order is created in the same input sheet as any other transaction — there is no separate screen for it.
Enter amount and category
Type the amount and pick the category, exactly as you would for a one-off expense. Do not save yet.
Tap "Repeat"
The button at the bottom of the input sheet opens the frequency dialog. This is the step people miss — the option lives inside the input sheet, not in the book settings.
Choose the frequency
Weekly, monthly or yearly. Monthly covers rent, subscriptions and most insurance. Confirm with OK.
Save
The saved entry now carries a repeat badge in the list. From here GoodShare books it automatically at the chosen interval.
Frequently asked questions
Long-press one of its entries in the list and delete it. GoodShare asks whether you want to remove just this one booking or the whole series.
Yes. Edit one entry of the series and the change applies to the series. The frequency itself cannot be changed afterwards — for that, delete the series and create it again.
Yes, like any other entry in its category. That is exactly why rent belongs in the housing budget.
