Set Up Categories
Categories help you keep Conversation Simulation organized as your test library grows. Good category structure makes it easier to filter, maintain, and re-run the right scenarios quickly. Without categories, simulation content becomes hard to manage after a few weeks. You spend more time searching than improving.
Use categories to group simulations by:
- Product area (Billing, Onboarding, Escalation)
- Intent type (FAQ, Troubleshooting, Compliance)
- Risk level (Critical, Important, Nice-to-have)
- Channel context (Website, WhatsApp, Instagram)
Step-by-Step: Create and Manage Categories
1) Open Categories page
- In CMS, open Simulation.
- Go to Categories.
- Review existing categories.
2) Add a new category
- Click Add New Category.
- Enter a clear category name.
- Repeat for all core groups you need.
3) Save changes
- Click Save to persist all updates.
- Confirm success message.
4) Edit or remove categories
- Edit names directly in the input fields.
- Click delete on a category you no longer need.
- Confirm deletion when prompted.
Naming Best Practices
Use names that are easy to understand for everyone on your team.
- Prefer specific names: Refund Policy over General
- Keep names short and stable
- Avoid duplicate or overlapping categories
- Use a consistent naming pattern across teams
Example structure:
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Critical - Compliance | High-risk policy and legal responses |
| Support - Billing | Common billing requests and disputes |
| Pre-Sales - Product Fit | Questions before purchase |
| Escalation Readiness | Human handoff triggers and transitions |
Category Hygiene Routine
Review categories weekly:
- Merge duplicates.
- Archive unused groups.
- Move scenarios to the most accurate category.
- Keep critical categories focused and small.
This routine keeps simulation runs fast and analysis clear.
Next Step
After categories are ready, design your first scenarios with measurable criteria:
