Overview
Typically, categories are defined by trade, but they can be repurposed to suit your project. Throughout the duration of your project, categories can be added and adjusted by Project Admins. Categories can be created and adjusted on both web and mobile, either on the Kanban view or through a task.
Default Fieldwire Categories
You have the option to use Fieldwire's default categories whenever you create a new project. This option to use the default category is presented to the project creator when they first open the new project.
Add Categories on Web
You are also able to edit or delete a category by selecting the gear icon to the right of the category. Similarly, you can add other categories to your project by selecting the "+ New Category" option at the bottom of the categories list.
Note: You can only edit or delete categories from the Web.
Note: Categories are listed in alphanumeric order. To reorder a list, you can add a number to the beginning of the Category Name (for example, 1. HVAC, 2. Flooring, 3. Drywall, etc.)
Note: There's no limit to how many categories you can create within a project.
Add a Category from a Task
You can also add a category directly from the Task Attributes category section (more information can be found here: Introduction to Tasks). This can be helpful if you have created a new task that does not fit within an existing category.
