# Overview

> Tracking Categories are used to classify and track financial data across different segments or dimensions within the business entity.

* Tracking categories allow businesses to track financial transactions or expenses separately.
* They help businesses gain greater visibility into their financial performance and make better-informed decisions.
* Linking tracking categories groups related categories together and enables businesses to view them in a consolidated report.
