It is possible to create categories for your assignments. This way your assignments can be grouped in an orderly fashion, allowing you to see what type of assignments you are dealing with immediately. For example, group assignments, video assignments or bonus assignments. When designing your course, it is possible to create separate categories and place assignments here at a later time.
