Categories

Previous topic Next topic JavaScript is required for the print function  

On this page, you can see categories defined for the current site, i.e. topic-related groups to which documents can be assigned.

 

You can create a category using the AddNewSettingsGroup New category link and you can delete one using the DeleteCategory Delete category link. Categories can also be moved Up_UIElement Up and moved Down_UIElement Down in the Categories tree; however, global and site-specific categories are sorted separately in the tree.

 

Creating categories

 

If you are creating a category from this location and global categories are allowed, the Category type selector may be visible, depending on under which category you are creating the new one. This is because both global and site-specific categories can be put under the Categories folder and under any global category. However, under a site-specific category only categories of this type can be put.

 

Editing categories

 

If you need to edit a category, select it from the Categories tree and configure its settings as required:

 

General tab

 

On this tab you can edit the following properties:

 

Display name

The display name of the category.

Description

Enabled
