Data that needs to be filled in to set the category correctly:

* **Category name**&#x20;
* **Sort order** - how the category will be displayed on the  reward categories list
* **Status** - The active status needs to be ticked to activate the reward category&#x20;

Optionally, you can add translations to your categories that were customized in the Translations under Settings.

When you set a reward category, you can use it as a filter in the Reward list:

## Managing reward categories

#### Searching via the Table Search

\
To find the specific reward category, you use a Search Table available in the upper right corner under the 'Add Category' button. The search field allows you to find the reward category via the name:
