*An ASTERISK denotes a required label in the table below.

Field Name	Field Description
Category Status	Inactivates (disable), or activates (enable) the selected employee category.
*Name	The label used to identify this employee category. Labels should be concise but meaningful. Reason being, the name will be merged with other categories to build a tag reference. Use the description area to provide additional details for future reference.
Description	Since the Name field should be as concise yet meaningful, this description text box is used to note the purpose of the employee category for reference.
Short Name	An Employee Category in Dimensions may contain an overriding name (alias) that allows a short name to be assigned. The employee category short name is used to derive the tag rather than the full name for customer’s using PAY RULE STARTS WITH in Dimensions to organize multiple pay rules down one path. Max: 20 Characters. Display output: Name if there is no overriding name Short Name (Alias) if there was an overriding name Available as of application version 7.0.2.
External ID	This optional field stores reference data that identifies the selected employee category in an external application. IMPORTANT: Customers using Dimensions will see the Dimensions reference number for the selected job. Do not edit the external ID in this application doing so will create undesirable synchronization issues.
