There are two additional configurations to allow any application have multiple categories. First in Workflow configuration adjacent to existing "type" ("instance/adoption/subprofile") attribute, a new attribute introduced as "category" which can define one identifier for sub profile category like location/node etc. Secondly, there is one small addition in application configuration as well in "profileSettings" -- > "subprofiles" section.

Inside subprofile section we can now have list of supported categories as per the following example:

            "categories": [
                {
                    "id": "node",
                    "label": {
                        "en": "Nodes"
                    },
                    "setId": "node"
                },
                {
                    "create": {
                        "profileLevel": true,
                        "subprofileLevel": true,
                        "label": {
                            "en": "Add Location..."
                        }
                    },
                    "id": "location",
                    "label": {
                        "en": "Locations"
                    },
                    "setId": "Locality"
                }
            ]

In above example, we are supporting two categories in given application one is node and other is location. Apart of multi language labels primary setId is defined here.

And then there is one optional section "create" which will give a link to add more of that kind from left side menu with given multi-language label.

Two attributes inside the "create" section are the same as: profileLevel and it means that you can add more of that kind as child to a profile (like add more locations), and subprofileLevel indicates whether you are allowed to add a location inside of a location; or if you want to provide for interactive hierarchical creation.
