Categories are especially useful for grouping your artifacts into relevant sections. You
can create and edit categories as required, but only one category can be assigned at any one time
to an architectural artifact.  
Importante:  
Starting with the Xanadu release, the legacy architectural artifact module has been deprecated from Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management). However, if you're an existing user of Enterprise Architecture (formerly Application Portfolio Management), you can still use the legacy architectural artifact module. If you're a new activation user, the legacy architectural artifact module isn't available.

You can leverage the same features by using the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. To learn more, see [Manage architectural artifact categories](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Sgj3ZUse1GshK0L_aIpgcg "The architectural artifact categories enable you to categorize and manage artifacts more efficiently. Architectural artifact categories enable you to organize architectural artifacts and align them with your business goals and strategies.").  
Use categories to group your  architectural artifacts more efficiently. As the artifacts administrator, you can create and edit any number of categories. The categories can contain references to the child categories and to the artifacts. When creating an architectural artifact, the category must be pre-defined to ensure it can be assigned to the artifact. The following categories are provided from the base system. These categories are aligned with the TOGAF standard.

* Application Architecture
* Architecture Vision
* Business Architecture
* Data Architecture
* Opportunities and Solutions
* Preliminary Phase
* Technology Architecture
