Categories

The standard Work Item field Category enables you to classify Work Items in one or more ways. Categorizing your project's Work Items provides an additional way to query them. This is useful for reporting certain subsets of a project's Work Items on wiki pages for stakeholders who do not use the tracker. For example, you might have a category "Usability" for Work Items that somehow relate to that issue. You can then easily construct a query to retrieve all items in the Usability category set for them and that were resolved for some time point. You can easily embed that query in a wiki macro that displays the query results on a wiki page. Categories can also be useful in automatically assigning newly created Work Items.

You can define Categories for your project in Administration Work Items Categories. For more information, see Configure Categories.
