Limit Visibility of Categories and Expense Fields via Team Fields

If you have created Team Fields to segment your employees into groups (e.g., Department, Location), you may limit the visibility of categories and expense fields to certain users, based on these groups. 

If a category or expense field is not available to people associated with a specific Team Field, they will not be able to select it on their expenses.

Limit Visibility of Categories

In this example, we will use the Location Team Field to limit the visibility of categories. 

1. Click on Company Settings and navigate to the Categories screen.

3. By default, each category is visible to all employees. If certain categories only need to be seen by certain groups, you may edit the visibility.

In the Visible to: Location column click ALL.
