In Itefy, you can group items using types and categories for easy discoverability and organization. So what’s the difference?
Type:
You can add one type to an item to help describe it generically and group it with other items that are the same.
Examples of types include:
- Camera: DSLR
- Vehicle: Forklift
- AV Equipment: Projector
The naming convention 'Main type: Subtype' is a good rule of thumb to follow for types.
Category:
You can assign an item to multiple categories to enrich the item with more information.
Examples of categories include:
- Brand: Sony
- Color: Red
- Size: Extra small
The naming convention 'Category group: category type' is a good rule of thumb for categories.
