# Set DOOH categories

> [!NOTE]
> ⚙️ For DOOH administrators

Use categories to enable targeted DOOH bookings.

- Assign different categories to locations or screens and use them to select a subset of a network for specific bookings.
- A category can specify a type of location like "pharmacies" or "gas stations", or a target group like "female".
- DOOH categories work with both [analog and digital products](/grassfish/docs/work-with-dooh-products).
- You can select categories when you specify a DOOH product’s ad spaces and to narrow down a booking’s locations.

### How to use DOOH categories

Which DOOH categories you create, depends on the individual setup and requirements of each DOOH client and booking.

Take a look at the following examples to get an idea.

#### Example: Locations and screens

You can use categories to specify digital and analog ad spaces. For example:

- All screens in Terminal 1 that are near restaurants.
- All screens in Geneva except in gas stations.
- All pharmacies in Berlin.

#### Example: Analog and digital categories

In this example, you've created categories for analog and digital ad spaces based on the display type.

You have, for example, an analog category for a common poster ad. In the digital categories, you have different screen formats like landscape or portrait.
