# Job Categories

### Create new job categories

To create new Categories, please navigate to **Jobs -> Categories** in the left sidebar. Now you can start adding specific information about the Job Categories Item in the fields data section below:

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/90RKc4CjhWy4L42cRv3W" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

**Name:** Enter the name of the job categories.

**Slug:** The “slug” is the URL-friendly version of the name. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.

**Parent Jobs Categories:** select parent amenities if needed. Usually, you don’t need to do it.

**Description**: Enter a description for categories if available

After completing all the necessary fields, click on the "**Add New Jobs Categories**" button.
