This feature allows ONLY Company and Buyer admins to create and edit Departments and Categories.

There will be “New Department” and “New Category” buttons on the top right of the page. Note - departments can have both sub-departments and categories as children, while categories cannot have any sub-categories.

Enter the Category name in the pop-up and if so desired, an internal ID, and then click the “Create Category’ button on the bottom right of the pop-up.
You are then able to assign Buyers to this Category as follows:
