The Capture Category functions as a structured classification system within the Ñimbl Capture Stream, designed to categorize four distinct types of documentation, each tailored to serve specific purposes and capture particular types of information efficiently.

Its primary objective is to provide clarity for team members' quick capture needs, particularly when time is limited, ensuring easy differentiation between various types of notes. Additionally, it facilitates quick access to recorded notes, preventing them from being overlooked or lost for future reference.

Determining the appropriate Capture Category to use depends on several dimensions. Firstly, the context in which the note is created influences its categorization. Secondly, considering the note's lifespan before it becomes irrelevant is crucial. Lastly, assessing its relevance to potential readers or collaborators further guides the selection process.
