Manage product categories
You can find it under Administration → Workspace settings → Product settings
In the Product settings section, you manage your company's product categories. This is where you define how your products and services are structured – for example, into Hardware, Software, Services or Subscriptions. Having clear categories makes it easier to assign products in quotes, invoices, and projects.
Where are product categories used?
Go to Administration → Product catalog.
The products you add here can be assigned to product categories.
To the product catalog
Add product category
Using the “Add category” button, you can create a new category.
Choose an icon to visually highlight the category.
Enter a name and a description.
Click Save to create the category.
Example:
Name: Hardware
Description: All hardware products we sell
Multilingual labels
In Leadtime, categories can be managed in multiple languages.
In the "Translations" tab, you can enter names and descriptions in other languages, like English and German.
These translations show up automatically wherever multilingual user interfaces or documents are used.
Manage existing categories
Categories you've already created can be edited, deleted, or moved at any time:
✏ Edit: Opens the dialog to change the name, description, and icon.
🗑 Delete: Permanently removes the category.
☰ Change order: You can rearrange categories by dragging and dropping.
Restore default categories
If you don't need your custom changes anymore, you can use "Restore default" to re-enable the original categories from Leadtime. That way you quickly get a clean starting point.
