# 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.
