    You need to use category IDs, like 1,2,4 etc.
    Add one listing from the frontend (or backend) and export to see the correct format.

    Thanks

    Just assign a category.
    Or if you want to change in bulk, export, change the CSV file and re-import.

    What are you trying to achieve?
    All category pages are created automatically, just add the GD Listings widget somewhere and you will see the links.
