Categories are used to classify the type of report a whistleblower is submitting. They appear as options on the reporting form and help your team organize and filter cases effectively.
Categories Overview
The Categories page shows you all active categories currently available on your reporting form. Each category displays its name and whether it is Active or not.
At the bottom of the page, click Show deactivated categories to view any categories that have been turned off.
Creating a Category
To add a new category, click + Create in the top right corner. Enter a name for the category and click Save when you are done.
Editing a Category
Click on any category name to open the edit view. From here you can:
Update the category name and translate it into other languages
Activate or deactivate the category
Translate the category name so it appears correctly for whistleblowers submitting a case in their selected language.
Click Save to confirm your changes.
💡 Deactivating a category means it will no longer appear as an option when a whistleblower is selecting a category on the reporting form. The category is not deleted and can be reactivated at any time.
Default Categories
The platform comes with a set of predefined categories covering the most common reporting areas, including Fraud, Bribery, Corruption, Money laundering, Conflict of interest, and more. These are active by default but can be deactivated if they are not relevant to your organization.
