Categories may represent roles/positions for employees within the company. Read how categories are used in the system here. Categories are established at the company level and, once added by the global admin, are accessible to all system users in a read-only format.
Accessing Categories:
Click on “Categories” in the menu. This will lead you to a page displaying a list of categories.
All users, regardless of their roles, can access and view category details by double-clicking on them.
Once employees are added to the system, the number of employees in each category will appear the list of categories.
