-<WRAP round intro>This tab allows you to establish a list of categories that instructors can use when adding assignments in txGradebook. The categories describe the types of assignments the instructors will use in their courses (e.g., Tests, Homework, and Labs).\\  \\   
-For each category, you can assign a default weight. The weight is the percentage of the student's cycle-course grade for which the category average counts. Instructors can override the default weights if they want to use different weights for their courses, unless the weight is locked. The types of weights allowed for categories is set up on the Options tab.\\  \\   
-You can use this tab to establish a master list of categories for each campus. If an instructor has an assignment that falls under a category that is not included in this list, he can create a new category using the Administer Categories page in txGradebook. The category he creates is added to the master list and becomes available 
-for all instructors at his campus to use. The list of categories continues to grow as instructors add categories.

-**NOTE:** The **Allow New Categories** field on the [[gradereporting:maintenance:gradebookoptions:campus:options|Options]] tab allows you to indicate if instructors are allowed to add new categories in txGradebook.
