The "Process Categories" screen registers and changes process categories.
A process category is a group of processes (see [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Budget Control/Processes|Processes]]). Common categories are Complaint, Malfunction, Request and Modification.
A category indicates the type of a process. A fixed workflow can be linked to a category, as described in [[Invantive Estate/Subjects/Administration/Process Status Transition|Process Status Transitions]].
The screen contains the following fields:
- "Code": The code of the process category.
- "Description": The description of the process category.
- "Sort Order": A numeric value that determines the order of the categories when a screen shows them in a list box.
- "Milestone": Indicates whether the processes in this process category are milestones.
- "Process": Indicates whether the processes in this process category are of the type "process". A process has this type when it does not result in an end product but supports the process.
