Categories

Categories help you establish a more granular organization of the packages you deploy to users.
In order for a category to be displayed on the user's device, you must first assign the packages within the category to that user. Moreover, based on the way you set up a package, the category is displayed in Workspace tab, Catalog tab or both.
To view which categories does an app belong to, go to Manage > Workspace > Packages > open the app you need and go to Catalog > Categories.
