Hello Indra,

To add a new topic/category in the **Employee Service Center (ESC) portal**, follow these steps:

Steps to Add a New Topic/Category in ESC:

1. **Navigate to the Topic Categories:**
- Go to **Employee Service Center > Topic Categories** in the application navigator.

2. **Create a New Category:**
- Click **New** to create a new topic category.
- Provide a **name** for your new category (e.g., "Network" if you're adding between "Hardware" and "Software").
- Set the **Order** value to control where this new topic appears in relation to others. For example, if you want it between "Hardware" and "Software", adjust the **Order** number accordingly (e.g., give it an order between the order numbers of those two categories).

3. **Associate Catalog Items/Records:**
- Once the new topic is created, you can link **catalog items**, **knowledge articles**, or any other **content** to it by modifying the respective records and selecting your new topic in the **"Topic"** or **"Category"** field.

4. **Publish and Verify:**
- Make sure to **publish** or **activate** the new topic so that it appears in the Employee Service Center portal.
- Test the portal to ensure the new topic is listed between "Hardware" and "Software" as desired.

If this process helps, please mark it as helpful!

Best regards,
Raja

These directions don't match anything in SN (Washington). Where exactly is "Employee Service Center > Topic Categories"?
