What is a Project Category?
Understand what Project Categories are and how they can help organize your Projects.
Overview
Use Project Categories to organize your Projects. Organizing your Projects into Categories makes it easier to search for a Project based on its assigned Category. Assign multiple Project Categories to a Project if necessary. For example, assign a Project named "Photo Capture and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)" to the "Banking" and "Human Resources" Project Categories.
