+# Categories ![alt text](images/StarLabs_Logo.png "Star Labs Systems")
+
+CMOS values should be added to [categories.yaml](src/application/categories.yaml].
+
+This allows `coreboot-configurator` to display them in a relavant tab, with a nice
+name and help text. Without this, they will still be visible in the **Raw** tab.
+
+An example entry is below:
+```
+processor:
+ displayName: Processor
+ me_state:
+ displayName: Intel Management Engine
+ type: bool
+ help: Enable or disable the Intel Management Engine
+```
+
+To explain the options:
+```
+**tabgroup**: <- This is the reference to the tab group
+ displayName: **Hello World** <- This is the name of the group that the user
+ will see
+ **setting_1**: <- This is the value that should match the CMOS
+ option.
+ displayName: **Hi World** <- This is the name of the option that the user
+ will see.
+ type: **bool** <- Valid type are: bool (checkbox) and enum
+ <- (dropdown).
+ help: **Greet the World** <- Help text that is displayed when hovering on the
+ option.
+```
