[Menu building](https://knowledge.jamezz.com/knowledge/webshop?hsLang=en#menu-building) # Category general settings ## In categories you find all the categories that you have.  **💡Good to know!** It is important to know that if you are working with Jamezz and a POS system for example UnTill, Lightspeed etc. the categories are synchronized from your cash register to Jamezz Backoffice. It varies what information each cash register imports from the menu. Discuss with your cash register supplier what you set up there and sync with Jamezz and after that look to the result and change the rest in Jamezz BackOffice. In the category overview, you can see the active or blocked status and the sort key. The sort key determines the order in which the menus are displayed in your application. If you edit a category you find a lot of possibilities to change: ![](https://knowledge.jamezz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-25-2025-01-12-51-3471-PM.png?width=670&height=480&name=image-png-Sep-25-2025-01-12-51-3471-PM.png) **Category name:** Displays the name of what the menu is called. **Custom name:** Here you can enter a name and then this name will be displayed in the application. **Description:** Here you can add a description for your menu and then this will be displayed in the application. **Section:** Here you can again indicate under which group the menu should fall.
