Categories are used to sort word entries into groups based on a shared characteristic. For example, 'moose', 'eagle', 'deer', and 'raven' can all be sorted as 'Animals'. You also have the option to have parent categories. This is when a broader category has more specific ('child') categories within it. For example, 'Animals' could be the parent category to 'Mammals'. Then, if you sorted 'moose' and 'deer' as 'Mammals', they would also be sorted as 'Animals'.
Only Language Administrators can add and edit categories. Before a recorder (or recorder with approval) can add a custom category to a word entry, it must first be created by a Language Administrator.
