{#idea-category-configurations-form__table_jzp_4ry_phb__entry__2}

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Category table | The parent table to derive idea categories from. To use static idea categories, select the default Idea Category \[im_category\] table. To use dynamic idea categories, select an existing table. For example, to use department names as idea categories, select the table that contains details of all the departments. |
| Category Field | Field from the category table from which to derive the idea category. The corresponding value of this field in the category table is listed in the Category field on the Idea Portal. For example, to list department names as category options, set the value of this field to Name. The system searches for and fetches the department names from the parent table and lists all the department names as category options. |
| Parent Field | If you are using nested idea categories, specify the field in the category table to be used to fetch the parent category. Nota: Leave this field blank if you are not using nested idea categories. For example, to list Department 1 and 2 as subcategories of Department A, set the value of this field as Parent. The system searches for and fetches values from the parent table and lists Department 1 and 2 as subcategories of Department A. |
| Module | The Idea module to which this idea category belongs. |
