# Example: Creating category elements for a engine and an IPS configuration

This scenario shows an example of using categories to show only Engine or IPS engine configurations.

Company A is a large enterprise planning a new system. The system includes several Engine and IPS engines. Each Engine and IPS engine has its own policy. The company’s administrators are only required to manage the Engines and their policies or the IPS engines and their policies at a time. To restrict which engines and policies are displayed, the following steps are taken:

1. The headquarters administrator creates two Categories: one for the elements that belong to the Engine configuration and another for the elements that belong to the IPS configuration.
2. The headquarters administrator creates the elements that represent the Engines, Engine policies, IPS engines, and IPS policies. The administrator then selects the appropriate Category for each element while defining its properties.
3. The administrators select the appropriate Category as the Category Filter so that only the elements in the Engine or IPS configuration are displayed.
