The Category Settings section displays the options available for assigning categories based on specific situations.

• Assign Categories based on ‘GS-9+ Professional/Scientific’ rules. A check in this box will assign applicants to categories based on the GS-9+ Professional/Scientific rules. Checking this setting will keep CP/CPS veterans in the appropriate category based on their final score, rather than automatically floating to the top category.
• Assign Categories based on Augmented Rating (Only use with Demo Projects that do not use Category Rating) . A check in this box will assign applicants to categories based on their augmented rating. If you are unsure if your organization can use this feature, please contact your Agency USA Staffing Administrators.
