Contact Categories allow you assign different roles to a contact. By assigning different categories you are able to organize different contact related information in a logical format.

The ProClass system is designed with five standard contact categories, however you can add as many custom categories as is necessary for your organization.

The standard contact categories are:

• Student

• Instructor

• Donor

• Board Member

• Model

The five standard categories are system-generated and cannot be deleted or removed from the system, however there is no limit to the number of additional categories that your organization can create.

For more on creating new categories and managing existing ones, please refer to Managing Contact Categories.

You can use Contact Categories to sort or categorize contacts according to their roles or associations, conduct business with and market to specific groups through mass e-mail functionality, register students for courses, organize program schedules and so on.
