Categories on the web

What are Categories?

• A Category groups similar Things, such as tools, furniture or livestock.
• A Category says what an item is. Sites and Areas say where it is.

Create or edit a Category

1. Choose Categories in the menu.
2. Choose Add Category, or select a Category's name or its Edit button.
3. Enter a name, and a description if you like.
4. Choose a colour and an icon so it is easy to spot.
5. Tick whether Things in this Category can hold Contents or have Parts.
6. Choose Add Category (new) or Save Category (changes).

Good to know

• A freezer is a Thing, and the food inside it is Contents. A fitted component is a Part.
• You cannot delete a Category while Things use it. Move them to another Category first.
• Your Android setup suggested some Categories to start with. See Categories, colours and icons.

Custom fields (Pro)

With a Pro plan you can customise a Category's fields. See Pro category fields and prompts.
