About contact categories

Categories help group contacts for filtering and reporting. You can assign multiple categories to a contact, and categories can be consultant-specific. 

Note: To edit categories assigned by another consultant, you need administrator access or sharing permission.

Add a category to a contact

To assign a category:

  • In the sidebar, go to: Contacts
  • Find the contact > Click on their name to open the contact detail screen
  • Next to Categories, click the Manage Categories (pencil) icon

  • Select the Consultant for the category
  • Choose the Category from the list

  • The category is automatically added once selected
  • Click Close

The category list will be updated.

Tip: Use categories to make contact searches faster and more accurate

Remove a category from a contact

To remove a category:

  • In the sidebar, go to: Contacts
  • Find the contact > Click on their name to open the contact detail screen
  • Next to Categories, click the Manage Categories (pencil) icon
  • Click the X next to the category name you want to remove

  • Click Close

The category list will be updated with your changes.

Note: Removing a category does not delete it from the system; it only unassigns it from the contact.
