Book Classification System

The **Catalog Category Master** allows you to organize your library collection into logical groups. You can create main categories like **"Textbooks"**, **"Journals"**, or **"Reference Books"**. It supports a hierarchical structure, meaning you can create sub-categories (e.g., *Science > Physics*), making it easier for students to browse and locate resources.

Leave empty to create a Main Category.

A
Hierarchical Organization

Using **Parent Categories** allows you to build a tree structure. For example, creating a "Physics" category under "Science" helps keep the catalog organized and easy to navigate.

B
Reporting

This categorization is vital for the **Category Wise Book Report**, which shows you exactly how many books you have in each domain (e.g., "We have 500 Engineering books").
