Each category includes the following details:

* **Category Name** – The name of the greeting category.
* **Who Can Send Greetings from This Category?** – Defines which users are allowed to send greetings from this category:
  * **Anyone** – Any network user can send greetings to other users or teams. This **does not** include guest users.
  * **Domain Admins & Intranet Admins Only** – Only network admins and intranet admins can send greetings.
  * **Domain Admins, Intranet Admins & Specific Users** – Network admins, intranet admins, and selected network users can send greetings.
* **Status** – Indicates whether the category is **Active** or **Inactive**. Inactive categories are hidden from the User Portal.
* **Actions** – Allows admins to manage categories through a menu accessed via the **three-dot button**, offering the following options:
  * **Edit** – Modify the category details.
  * **Deactivate** – Change the category’s status to 'Inactive'.
  * **Activate** – Reactivate a previously deactivated category.
  * **Delete** – Remove a custom greeting category from your domain. <mark style="color:red;">System categories</mark> <mark style="color:red;"></mark><mark style="color:red;">**cannot**</mark> <mark style="color:red;"></mark><mark style="color:red;">be deleted.</mark>
