Category

With the help of Categories you can group activities that belong together. For example, you might want to put all activities that are related to a particular product defect into a Category Defect XYZ, or you might want to assign all activities related to a new product version into a Category V1 (for Version 1):

Anatomy of a Category:

Name of the Category
a short Description of the Category

You can define as many Categories as you like and you can assign the same activity to multiple Categories if required. All the activities assigned to a Category are shown in the Grid Activities.

If an activity is assigned to multiple Categories, this linked activity will show up multiple times in the Grid Activities of the respective activity tracker, once for every Category it is assigned to; this is useful if you filter activities based on Category assignments.
