What Are Note Categories?

Categories help your team group notes by purpose - for example, internal coordination, family communication, or operational details.

Categories are optional, fully customizable, and shared across all cases.


Default Setup

  • No categories are created automatically.

  • All existing notes appear under All Notes.

Note: Dropshipping customers will see a Dropshipping category created automatically.


Managing Categories

You can manage categories from Settings β†’ Notes Categories.

Here, you'll:

Add new categories + assign colors (optional)

Reorder categories using drag-and-drop

Edit or delete categories


What Happens When a Category Is Deleted?

  • Notes are not deleted

  • Notes simply return to All Notes

  • The category label is removed

This makes it safe to adjust categories over time as workflows evolve.


Where Categories Appear

Categories are reflected consistently across:

  • The Notes tab

  • Case Details views

  • Notes previews from the Cases table

Once updated, changes apply immediately for all users.
