# Using the Automatic assignment feature

Automatic assignment will allow you to automatically set a Payee and/or a Category to a transaction based on a string contained in the Memo or Payee. The assignment is applied after each file import so that you gain some time with assignment of Category and this permit to ensure the right Payee is set as well.

### Step 1: Create assignment rules

Open the assignment dialog from either the main-window menu or the tool-bar.

Then create an assignment rule:

- click the Add button
- fill in the text to search into the Memo/Payee field
- optionally check the case sensitive check-box
- select the Payee and/or Category to assign

HomeBank will assign the Payee and/or the Category of a transaction if it is empty.

### Step 2: Trigger the assignment

The assignment rules will occurs:

- You trigger it manually from the Account window menu Actions/Auto. assignment or the tool-bar
