Managing Categories

On This Page

Overview

Categories identify the type of data being detected. DryvIQ comes with the default categories. You can also create custom categories if one of the default categories doesn’t capture what your entity type will be identifying. Preinstalled entity types will be assigned a corresponding default category. All custom entity types you create default to “General,” so you will need to edit the category if a specific category needs to be used.
