Categories

The user-defined classification tree for the asset catalog (e.g. Tools → Power Tools → Drills). Each company builds its own hierarchy; a Product may be filed in one Category.

A Category defines which Attributes apply to the Products (and Items) filed under it, via category_attributes — each assignment sets whether the value is filled on the Product or the Item (fillable_on), whether it's required, and its display position. Assignments are inherited by descendant categories. A Category can only be deleted once it's a leaf with no Products of its own.
