Why It Matters

  • Categories help users organize and classify Work Items

  • Categories appear directly to end users during Work Item creation


When to Do This

  • Setting up a new Work-First Group

  • Adding new Work Item classification options

  • Standardizing Work Item naming across sites


Preconditions

  • Organization is configured as Work-First

  • Workflow-First organizations will display a single “Workflow First” Work Item Category
    → Do not add Work Item Categories if your organization is Workflow-First

Before editing Work Item Categories, review Work Item Categories (Work Folders) – Admin Overview to understand applicability and impact.


Steps

  1. Open Group Management in the ANVL Admin Panel

  2. Filter for the Group(s) using any column header

  3. Select the checkbox next to each Group to update

  4. Select + Work Item Categories

  5. Enter the Category Name

  6. (Optional) Select Is Default? to make this the default category

  7. Select + Work Item Categories to add additional categories

  8. Select Save


Watch Out For…

  • New Groups do not inherit Work Item Categories

  • Categories must be manually added to each Group

  • Default category applies per Group


What You Should See

  • Categories listed for the selected Group(s)

  • Default category clearly identified
