You can select different categories for the catalog items you create in the Operational Technology (OT) Service Catalog. Categories help organize OT catalog items into logical groups. When requesters submit an OT request, they can choose the catalog item that best fits their needs based on its
designated category.

If needed, you can define categories and subcategories to organize the OT catalog items and help users locate the products and services they need. For more information about how to define catalog item categories, see [Create a category](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_CreateACategory&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).
