When creating a step, you can choose a step category for each one of the steps.

A step category is used to classify the steps within your Accommodation, Transport, or Activity/Extras blocks.

In Ezus, each step category can be differentiated by color and can have customized fields that allow you to add important information relating to each type of category.

To create or modify your stopover categories, go to Settings > Custom fields > Steps :

By clicking on the category you have already created, or a new one (click on the "➕)" button, you will be taken to the category editor.

You must give your category a name, you can choose a color to differentiate it (useful on your Stages view in creating your program).

⭐️ You can select the category as the main category by clicking on the star at the top right. It will then appear by default on the accommodation, transport, or activities steps you add to your program, depending on where you created your category.
