A Category is a logical grouping used to organize Custom Fields for display on pages such as Device Details. Categories help improve usability by grouping related fields together. You can manage Categories by adding new ones, editing existing ones, or removing those no longer needed.

To access Manage Categories, go to Settings in top navigation. In left navigation, select KACE Cloud > Custom Fields > Devices > Manage Categories to open the Manage Categories dialog. On the Manage Categories dialog, you can:
