Field Group
Custom Fields can be grouped together. These groups define how your data appears on website's front-end, i.e. on a listing page or on a review page, thus field groups can be of two types : Listing or Review. If a field group is defined of 'Listing' type, it'll show up on 'Add Listing' page and 'Listing' page (as shown in example on right), if defined of 'Review' type, it'll show up on 'Add Review' page.

Listing Types
Listing Types can be used to create different types of contents your website may have. For example, you could be building a city portal which might have different content types: Hotels, Cinemas, Bars etc. In this case, each entity should be treated as a separate listing type. Listing type can contain multiple rateable fields and multiple field groups.

Rateable Fields
Rateable Fields show up as star-rating fields on front-end while user is adding a review for listing. These fields determine feedback score for listings present in your database. You can create your custom rateable fields while adding listing types.

Categories
Categories are visible to front-end users. Each category can contain multiple listings. Categories need to be associated with one listing type as defined above. Crowd Vox supports n-level deep categories, and any number of categories can be created.
