# About Categories

Working from the Labels pane of Billings Pro Preferences, you can set up slip categories. Slip categories are useful for grouping slips generally by the kind of work they are used to track. For instance, if you are a writer, you may wish to group slips in research, writing, and editing categories. In the Slip window, you can apply a category either to a new or existing slip by choosing one from the Category pop-up menu.

Billings Pro comes with several pre-defined categories, but you must customize them to suit your working habits. Categories are useful for reporting, including to find out how much time you spend doing certain kinds of work. They may also be useful if you want to send invoices that list tasks of a particular kind.
