Creating and managing category sets
Create and manage category sets to group update types by focus area — streamlining search setup and ensuring consistent, relevant tracking across your workspace.
What is a category set
A category set is a pre-defined group of update categories that align with a particular area of focus.
It allows you to create labelled collections such as Corporate finance and M&A, Environmental reports, or Project permitting.
Category sets can be used by both individuals and teams.
They help you quickly apply relevant content filters during search setup — so you can track the updates that matter most without manually selecting categories each time.
Category sets are especially useful for:
-
Individuals who regularly monitor the same types of updates.
-
Teams that want to ensure everyone tracks consistent categories.
-
Organisations that need standardised monitoring across departments or portfolios.
How to access category sets
-
In the side navigation, go to the bottom left and click Profile.
-
Inside your profile, open the Category sets tab.
-
Here you’ll see:
-
Any existing sets you’ve already created, or
-
A blank page if you’re setting one up for the first time.
-
How to add a new category set
-
In the Category sets tab, click + Create new set.
-
Give your set a clear name, such as Corporate finance and M&A or Sustainability and permitting.
-
Use the search bar to find categories.
-
Double-click each category name to move it from the left box to the right box.
-
Choose whether to make this an organisation set (shared with your whole team) or keep it private to your own account.
-
Click Save.
Your new set will now appear as an option during search setup whenever you choose to filter by category.
How to edit a category set
-
In your Category sets tab, find the set you want to update.
-
Click the name of the set — this opens the set modal.
-
From here, you can:
-
Rename the set.
-
Add or remove categories.
-
-
Click Save to apply your changes.
If the set is an organisation set, only an admin will be able to edit it.
Using a category set in a search
When creating a search:
-
In the content sources step, select By category set.
-
Choose your desired set from the dropdown menu.
-
Continue through the setup flow to add filters and configure alerts.
The search will automatically include updates and documents from all categories within that set.
Tip: Category sets make search creation faster and more consistent — whether you’re an individual tracking a niche area or part of a team standardising coverage across the organisation.
Organisation sets vs personal sets
-
Organisation sets are visible to all members of your organisation and can only be edited by admins.
-
They help ensure shared tracking standards across teams.
-
-
Personal sets are visible only to you and can be edited at any time.
If your organisation has created an organisation set:
-
You will not be able to edit it directly.
-
To make changes, copy the organisation set first.
-
This creates a personal copy of the same categories.
-
You can then rename or edit it freely — it will appear only on your personal dashboard.
-
The same rules apply to company sets and mining asset sets.
