A category represents a theme for evaluating a specific element of the quiz topic and
contains questions pertaining to that theme.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: none

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

When you create a quiz, the system creates a default category with the
name of the quiz. You can use this category, modify it, or create additional
categories as needed. Categories are records in the Quiz view
of the Metric Category table.

Categories have [weighting values](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MFPRf1_1e2JgOrXEWERHog "In the Assessments application, a metric is a trait or value used to evaluate assessable records.") that contribute to the overall score for the quiz. By
default, all categories are given a weighting value of 10. You can assign any weight
to your categories. To have any results, a category must contain scored
questions.

## Prozedur

You can create a new category or edit an existing one from the Metric Categories related list of a quiz record.
