Renaming a Category

Don’t like the name of one your user-defined categories or maybe you misspelled it? You can change it.

Note: You can’t rename a system category.

 

Here’s How

  1. View the category that you want to rename. (Remind me how.)

  2. On the right side of the display, click Change Name.

    Click Change Name.

    The category edit page displays.

  3. Type a new name, then click the Save button.

    Type a new name, then click the Save button.

 

What’s Next

When you rename a category, all of its contacts update with the new name.
