*Reference list settings — Configurations › Reference List Settings › Categories Qustions*

## Overview

Categories Qustions is a reference list used to maintain named question categories in the business operations platform. Administrators use this configuration area when they need to add or maintain the category entries available for related business records.

Use this page before users begin working with records that require categorized questions. The reference list is accessed from the configuration area rather than from operational workspaces such as Sales, Purchasing, Warehouse, or Finance.

## Before you start

You must have access to **Configurations** and **Reference List Settings**. Ensure that you are configuring the correct reference list: **Categories qustions** is separate from **Categories question unit**.

## Steps

1. Navigate to **Configurations > Reference List Settings > Categories Qustions**.

2. Review the existing category-question entries displayed in the reference list.

3. Select **New** to begin adding a Categories Qustions entry.

4. If you are working in a different reference-list area, select **Categories qustions** to return to the category-question list before selecting **New**.

> **Note:** The configuration navigation includes **Categories question unit** as a separate option. Select **Categories qustions** when maintaining question categories.

> **Warning:** Use the exact **Categories qustions** reference list for this task. Do not select **Categories question unit** unless you are configuring question units.

## Troubleshooting

- **The Categories Qustions list is not displayed** → You may be in another configuration area → Navigate to **Configurations > Reference List Settings > Categories Qustions**.

- **The wrong reference list is open → Categories question unit** was selected instead of the category-question list → Select **Categories qustions** and then select **New**.

## Result

The Categories Qustions reference list is open, and the **New** action has been selected to begin configuration.
