Working with System Personalization Category Groups
Category groups can represent products, such as Query or Tree Manager, or functional groupings. A category group is an attribute that enables you to designate ownership of personalizations for administrative duties, such as maintenance.
Category groups are also used when assigning system personalizations to permission lists. When you assign system personalizations to permission lists, you specify the option category level (for example, PeopleTools, Campus Solutions, Supply Chain Managements, and so on) and the category group.
Note: By default, all options created within the category level of Custom appear in the Custom category group.
