Manage Room Categories for Resource Booking

Room categories help you organize resources based on their purpose or type, making it easier for users to identify and book the appropriate room. Zoho Calendar provides a set of default categories that cannot be modified or deleted. You can also create custom categories to suit your organization's requirements, such as Board Room, Training Center, or Client Meeting Room.

Default and Custom Categories

Room categories are divided into two types:

• Default Categories – Predefined categories provided by Zoho Calendar. These categories are system-defined and cannot be edited or deleted.
• Custom Categories – Categories created by your organization. You can add, edit, or delete these categories at any time.
