# Opportunity Types

Daylite provides another way of segmenting Opportunities thanks to **Opportunity Types**. 

An Opportunity Type *describes what an Opportunity is,* as opposed to a Category, *which describes the topic of the Opportunity.*

New Business and Repeat Business are both default examples that come pre-loaded in Daylite, however you may wish to set up your own Opportunity Types, based on your business needs. 

* Navigate to **Settings > Opportunities > Opportunity Types**.
* Tap the **+** or **-** buttons to add or remove an Opportunity Type.
* Check the **Active** box to display in Daylite.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Pro Tip:**

To help prevent confusion, remember to either delete or deactivate any Opportunity Types you do not use.
{% endhint %}

* Opportunity Types you create and activate will be displayed in a New Opportunity's **type** drop down menu.

**Did you know?**

Providing your users with clearly defined options from drop down lists is the best way to ensure that the data going into Daylite remains consistent.&#x20;

This in turn will help you when using that data to **search** or create **smart lists**.
