Creating a new category
For each layout, Relativity automatically creates a default category. The category contains a default name field that Relativity assigned to it based on the layout's object type. For example, the default category contains the document identifier when the object type of the layout is document and a Name field when the object type is OCR Set or Analytics Profile.

A category contains fields on your layout. Use categories to organize layout content.
To add a new category:
- From the Layout Options console, click Add Category. A new Default Category appears in the layout builder and its corresponding properties appear in the Layout Options console. To edit an existing category, click the category.
