Edit issue category names

Learn how to edit issue category names via the web app to keep issues organized and easy to manage.

What are issue categories?

Issue categories allow you to manage who can report incidents in your organization, arrange information that's included in the initial report, and edit the contents and recipients of your issue notifications. You can also use categories to set up Critical Alerts for high-priority issues to ensure that users receive notifications even when their devices are on mute or in "Do not Disturb" mode. Plus, with issue categories, you can suggest templates for more detailed analyses of specific issues.
