To add a purpose, drag and drop the purpose under the desired category. Purposes available for drag and drop will appear according to the vendors selected.![Screenshot 2023-03-10 at 17.01.41](https://support.didomi.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-03-10%20at%2017.01.41.png?width=688&height=151&name=Screenshot%202023-03-10%20at%2017.01.41.png) As mentioned, your category will appear on the second layer of your notice or"preferences view".
