Answer

The categories in a workflow are section headers that group related questions together. They help users move through the workflow more easily and make completed workflows easier to review and print.

These are different from Group Workflow Categories, which organize similar workflows for publishing, access, and selection. The categories in a workflow organize questions inside that workflow.


Steps

Understand what categories do

  1. Use workflow categories to group related questions together.

  2. Use them to reflect the natural flow of the task.

  3. Use them to improve the completion and review experience.

Common examples of categories

  1. Preparation

  2. Task Details

  3. Hazard Identification

  4. Controls

  5. Final Review

Where users see categories

  1. At the bottom of the screen while completing the workflow

  2. As section headers in the completed workflow

  3. In the print view, where responses are grouped into readable sections

Edit categories in Editor

  1. Open ANVL Insights.

  2. Go to MobilizeEditor.

  3. Open the workflow draft.

  4. Select the question you want to update.

  5. In the question settings, find the Category field.

  6. Select the appropriate category for that question.

  7. Repeat for other questions as needed.

  8. Save your changes.

Helpful notes

  • Each question is assigned to one category.

  • Categories shape how questions are grouped, not how they route.

  • Good category names are clear, simple, and helpful to the user.

  • Avoid vague labels, overly technical section names, or too many categories in a short workflow.

  • Keep category names consistent across similar workflows.
