In Interactive Forms, you can create categories to help you organize your forms and form sections in meaningful sets. This is especially useful if your web initiative channel contains a large number of forms/form sections. The categories that you create apply to both forms and form sections and appear identically in both the "Forms" and "Form Sections" panes. For each category, you can assign a workflow model to it. This means that for each category you can specify which users have which rights to perform specific activities. This is useful for creating a hierarchy of roles and activities at the level of form/form section categories.
