HOW TO USE CATEGORIES AND TYPES IN LIST MANAGER


Your List Manager now supports “Categories” and “Type” of lists!


All your lists can be associated with a category during creation and once the list is created, it will be assigned a ‘Type’.


  1. ‘Categories’ displays which category the list belongs to.
    A list can be assigned more than one category, and it is a mandatory field during the creation of the list.

  2. ‘Type’ is any list available by default in the project of type 'System'.
    Any list created by users is the User list.



The following Categories are currently available and you create additional categories if you need them!

  • App Lookup

  • Budget Top Segment

  • Budget Cost Code

  • Finance

  • Planner

  • Safety

  • Time & Attendance
