Categories

The Categories Card in a contact's detail's page is used to show the various subjects they are interested in. An integral part of the BGM system is to provide information to our contacts about things they are interested in and talking to them about those interests. Tracking what those interests are is vital. This ranges the whole spectrum of interests, from what sort of entertainment or sports they like, to their financial interests.

The Groups under Categories are:

  • Vacation - vacations they are interested in.
  • Entertainment - the types of entertainment they are interested in.
  • Technology - technology they are interested in.
  • Personal Interests - a catchall category if it doesn't fit well under another.
  • Science - areas of science they are interested in hearing about.
  • Social Media - social media platforms they use.
  • Profile - keywords from filling out profiles for them, that don't have better categories.
  • Educational - academic interests.
  • Hobbies - the type of projects they like to spend time on in their personal life.
  • Sports - sports they follow or play.
  • Recreation - what active things they like to spend time on.
  • Arts - the artistic areas of interest.
  • Financial Interests - the type of financial information they are most interested in getting.
  • Leisure - what they like to spend their leisure time doing.
