== How to use "Collection" and "Category" ==
CatalogIt allows users to organize their collections in many different ways. While you are able to be very specific with your cataloging through the use of authoritative classifications, we recognize that you may organize your collections in ways that are specific to you, and with the “'''Collection'''” and “'''Category'''” fields, you are able to do just that.
The “'''Collection'''” field, which is available in CatalogIt Museum and Organization accounts, is a repeating field that allows you to break up your own collection into distinct groups that you create and assign. For example, you may have a named collection within your permanent collection called “Jane Smith Craft and Decorative Art Collection.” This same item may also be in your overall “Craft and Decorative Art Collection” and CatalogIt allows you to include multiple collections to ensure you are identifying your collections as specifically as required.
The “'''Category'''” field, included in all account types, enables you to classify your collection into categories and subcategories that you define. This is a hierarchical field that allows you to create categories and related subcategories. For example, if you are a collector of vintage household goods (like vintage crockery), you are able to create a category called “Household Goods” and a subcategory of “Kitchenware”, and a second subcategory of “dinner service” for cataloging your vintage soup tureen.
These are both user-defined fields. Users can create as many profiles as needed to ensure their collections are organized and categorized in ways that are of most use to them.
