How to create and edit Categories

What are Categories?

Categories are used to organise your Places more efficiently and help you to quickly find and identify Places.
For example, on the Places page you can filter the list to only view Places from a selected Category.
If you are running a Geofence Report in the Reports section, you can choose to only view results from a selected Category.

You can edit a Place and move it into a Category of your choice.

How to create a Category

To create a Category, follow these steps:

1. From Places in the main navigation menu on Reveal, find the Categories tab.
2. In the Category Name field, enter a name for your Category.
3. Open the Icon list and select an icon. A Place added to this category will be marked with that icon when shown on the map.
4. Open the Colour list and select a colour. On the map, this colour highlights the perimeter area of the Place.

   Authorised: Places drivers are permitted to visit.
   UnAuthorised: Places drivers are not permitted to visit.
   Neutral: Places drivers are permitted to visit, but do not visit regularly.
6. To finalise the creation of the Category and add it to the list, click Add.
