Crowdfunding Categories

Access Prerequisites

• Permission (module): manageCrowdfunding
• License/Feature: CROWDFUNDING enabled in the tenant license (Vault).
• Menu container: GENERAL → group Products → Crowdfunding Categories (route /crowdfunding-characteristics/applications)

What it is / when to use

Categories organize crowdfunding offerings (e.g.: judicial assets, art, business, real estate). A category must be created before an offering can be classified under it. The screen displays a hierarchy (categories and subcategories) and allows creating, editing, and deleting.

Prerequisites

• Permission: manageCrowdfunding (CPM enum + dynamic module in DB).
• License/Feature: CROWDFUNDING enabled.

Step by step

1. Go to Products → Crowdfunding Categories.
2. Click New category (or add inside a parent category, for a subcategory).
3. Enter the name, description, and image; save.
4. On each item use Edit or Delete.

Fields

Field	Description	Required?	System/backend effect
Name	Category name	Yes	Identifies the category in offerings.
Description	Category text	No	Descriptive content.
Photo/Image	Category image	No	Upload via files API.
Parent category	Links as subcategory	No	Creates the hierarchy (subcategories/children).

Actions and modals

• New category / subcategory: opens the CrowdfundingDialogApplyComponent dialog in create mode (with the parent category, if applicable).
• Edit: same dialog in edit mode.
• Delete: confirmation via bottom-sheet. When deleting a category that has subcategories, the children are removed first.

Business rules / cautions

Attention

• A category in use cannot be deleted — if there is a linked offering, the backend returns "Category is being used!" and the deletion is rejected.
