Lookup list categories

For Reports, Business Rules, and Advanced Searches, it is useful to categorize some Lookup List items into groups that can be treated similarly. This also allows for distinction in categories. For example, rather than marking a case status as closed or open, you could also have a cancelled status, giving more information to those who need it while still not appearing in searches for active cases.

Refer to the Case configuration documentation for more information.
