You can quickly add a new category with just a few steps.

Where to find the Category menu

To create a new category:

  1. Click the Daymi icon in the left-side menu.

  2. Navigate to Processes - Categories.


Steps to add a new Category

There is an Add Category button in the top right corner.

  1. Enter a Category name - This is required.

  2. Add a Description (optional) – While not mandatory, adding a description can help clarify the purpose of the category, especially for new colleagues.

  3. Files (optional) – You can store all related documents. For example, if you are organizing client and fund information, you can add contracts, agreements, and key files.

Usage examples

  • Outsourcing companies may use categories to represent different clients.

  • Companies with multiple business areas may use categories to reflect each area.

Managing Categories

  • Categories cannot be deleted to maintain an audit trail.

  • Instead, categories can be marked as inactive when they are no longer needed.

Client Details Page

You can view items linked to a category - including processes, issues, and external contacts - directly from the Process → Categories page.

For teams using categories to represent work areas (e.g. Reconciliation, NAV, Risk), this provides a clearer, more connected view of related items.

For service providers who’ve renamed categories to Clients (Daymi can help with this), the view effectively becomes a Client database, where each client page shows all related items in one place.
