Clicking on the icon labelled Categories will enable the categorization of the organization to appear on the right hand side. In this example, the organization falls under the Category Cause.
Changing Categories
Categories can be added or removed from an organization by selecting the Options button on the top left of the page. This will enable a drop-down of features; under the heading Properties is the option to modify Categories.
Organizations can have numerous categories. A good tip is to have a System Object category that can be used for miscellaneous or system-based organizations that might not have purpose otherwise; for example, if you have created an Organization of System Administrators in order to know who has high-levels of access and security permissioning in your system, you can categorize this organization under System Object and helpfully exclude it from ordinary searches.

Use @client.categoryids@ to return a list of category IDs - comma delimited - note the leading comma - e.g. ",1234,555,666,"
