Program categories, previously called program groups, organize programs and help you filter related records.

### Manage categories

1. Open **Programs**.
2. Select **Manage categories**.
3. Use **Create** to add a category, or open an existing category to review its settings.
4. Use the drag handles to arrange category order where available.

The category list shows the number of programs, registration-link availability and the access-page link. Check the category’s registration settings before sharing a link with families.

### Assign and filter programs

Open a program and review its category selection in **Settings**. On list pages, use the **Program category** or **Program categories** filter to narrow records by category. Open **More filters** where needed.

### Duplicating programs across organizations

When duplicating a program, review the selected categories. Within the same organization, selected categories carry over. In another organization, TUIO matches categories by name; categories without a match are omitted. Review the copied program before sharing or using it.

### Restore a deleted category

Use **Show deleted** to include deleted categories, then choose **Restore** from the relevant category action. Restoring brings the category and its program ordering back.
