# Create categories of questions

## Why card categories

In Q\&As for longer or more complex documents there may be numerous datafields, as a result of which the Q\&A can grow very long. The user, in turn, may get lost within the Q\&A or struggle to find a question he or she is looking for.

To make the use of Q\&As more convenient, Clause9 allows you to create card categories! They can be seen on top of the Q\&A, enabling the user to quickly and easily find the question he was looking for under the tab. It also makes completing a questionnaire a more easily digestible experience for all users.

## How to create a new category

You can create a new category following these steps:

Navigate to *Cards* pane and choose a card. Then, click <img src="/files/hfoZIqkC2tZ3KkgIaOKE" alt="" data-size="line">&#x20;

If no category has been assigned to the card, you will see that it is uncategorised. However, click <img src="/files/bAO9z69MTBpE5wCN3NOt" alt="" data-size="line"> at the right side of *Category* and choose “*Edit categories*” in the drop-down menu.

This opens a new window, where you can manage your categories and create a new category by clicking <img src="/files/ldNlLXQ4NVxfPMkzb1hH" alt="" data-size="line">. When you have named the new category, click OK.

Now that you have created the desired category, navigate to the drop-down menu again through <img src="/files/hfoZIqkC2tZ3KkgIaOKE" alt="" data-size="line">  and <img src="/files/Oaklsz9RnX3qqttf9lJc" alt="" data-size="line">. You will see your newly created category in the drop-down menu. You can add the card to the desired category by clicking its name in the same menu.

## How to add a card to an existing category

You can add a card to an existing category by following these steps:

1. Choose a card and click <img src="/files/hfoZIqkC2tZ3KkgIaOKE" alt="" data-size="line">&#x20;
2. Click <img src="/files/Oaklsz9RnX3qqttf9lJc" alt="" data-size="line">at the right side of *Category.*
3. Click the name of the desired category in the drop-down menu.

Once you have opened the Categories -window, you can create all the categories you need at once. Then, you only need to assign to each card the desired category through the drop-down menu, without the need to go back to the Categories -window every time.
