Categories keep your Listings organized and make your business more efficient. Every Listing you create will have an associated Category, and you also choose the same Categories when inviting your Guides into Origin.
Using Categories ensures that only the right Guides get assigned to the newly booked trips. Categories also update your availability automatically if you don't have any Guides available on a day for a certain Listing and Category, then no one can book that trip. This helps you eliminate overbookings and it saves you time since you don't have to log in and change things manually. It's auto-magic!
To start, navigate to Company, then click Categories:
Next, create or edit the name of the Category by clicking Create Category at the bottom or clicking the edit button next to an already-made Category.
Then choose a color that will display on your various calendars. Each Category can have a different color so you can stay organized. These can always be changed later.
Once you've created your Categories, you can add them to your existing Guides or add them when you invite Guides into your company.
