Categories are a classification of values that are used in drop-down lists throughout various forms. Each category is comprised of a list of values that a user will select when completing information in the Governance Portal.
The Governance Portal comes pre-populated with a list of categories and associated values. However, additional categories and/or values may be added. Note: Categories can only be assigned to text fields within a form. Therefore, the administrator must configure the form to contain a text field. The category is then selected for the text field during the configuration process. The user will see the drop-down list of values displayed for selection. See Configure a Form and Configure Field Settings for additional information.
Note: Users can utilize categories with calculated fields to trigger an event to deploy workflow tasks and email notifications. For more information, see Event Driven Workflow or Event Driven Notifications.
