This is probably really dumb, but I am setting up my People add-on and I wasn’t sure of the difference between Types vs Categories.
We don’t have too many classifications for our events. We have Gamemasters who run each event or panel, Attendees/gamers who participate in events, Staff who oversee a particular area, Volunteers who help the staff, etc. What I am aiming to do is link the gamemasters to each of the events they are running.
Some of them are associated with a particular gaming company, so they can be grouped into a more general group that way. For instance: John is a gamemaster running a game on Saturday, but he works with Pathfinder Society. Would “type” be “gamemaster” and then I can put him in the larger “category” of “Pathfinder Society” with other gamemasters running Pathfinder games?
I’m not sure if that makes sense or if I am applying the use correctly.
Yes that makes sense and is a correct way to use types and categories.
