What are Categories?
Updated over a month ago

Categories are labels or profile information linked to each member, such as 'Department,' 'Function,' or 'Location.' They help organize and identify specific attributes of members, like 'Marketing' for 'Department' or 'Paris' for 'Location.'

Examples

  • Department: Indicates the specific division within the organization where an employee works (e.g., Marketing, Communication, Human Resources).

  • Location: Specifies the geographic location where the employee is based (e.g., Paris, Berlin, Lisbon).

  • Favorite sport: Indicates the sport the employee enjoys the most (e.g., Basketball, Tennis, Yoga)
