Configure information object categories

Configure information object categories to classify information objects effectively. For example, attributes like iris scans and fingerprints are often referred to as biometric data, or email addresses and phone numbers can be grouped as contact information. Information object categories enable you to categorize these information objects under these broader classifications.
