# Preparing Projects

<table><colgroup><col> <col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Project Property</th><th>Usage</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Category</p></td><td><p>A category describes the common environment of a set of processes in a few keywords, for example <code>Customer Support Mythical University</code> or <code>Finance</code>.</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Process Applications</p></td><td><p>Process applications are third-party application installations that are required for the execution of a process, for example <code>FinWiz - Mythical University - Computer 1 - Tokyo</code>.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
