# Session Categories

Session categories help organize your sessions, especially when you have many sessions running simultaneously.

## Creating a Category

1. From the administration panel, navigate to **Session categories**
2. Click **Add a category**
3. Enter a **name** and optional start/end dates
4. Save

## Use Cases

* **By program** — "Leadership Development", "Technical Training", "Onboarding"
* **By period** — "Q1 2026", "Spring Semester", "July Batch"
* **By department** — "Engineering", "Sales", "Human Resources"

## Managing Categories

* **Edit** — Change the category name or dates
* **Assign sessions** — When creating or editing a session, select its category
* **Delete** — Remove a category (sessions in the category become uncategorized)
