Project Subcategories are a way of categorising Referrals across more than one Project. For example, your organisation might have several project delivering services, but across all of the Projects the activity breaks down into "Within target area" or "Outside target area". Using these headings as Project Subcategories, users could categorise each Referral as they create it.
