And then from the grid’s “Nav-Filter-Sort” tab, add the “Filter” control to one of the grid’s navigation dropzones.

Next, scroll to “Other -> Filter”, and enter the “categories” you wish to assign to the item.
Quick Tip #1
Since custom grid items are not related to actual posts or post categories, the “categories” entered can be anything.
Quick Tip #2
Assign multiple “categories” to an item by separating them with commas as shown in this screenshot.
