Assigning an object to categories

Like folders, categories are objects used to organize documents. You can associate objects with multiple categories, or subcategories within categories. A category can be a corporate or a personal category. For complete information, see Chapter 12: Organizing Objects.

Use the following procedure to assign an object to a category by using the objects page. You can also assign objects to a category by using the categories page. See "Adding an object to a new category" on page 373.

To assign an object to a category

1. In the Object management area of the CMC, select an object by clicking its link.
2. Click the Categories tab.
3. To assign an object to a personal category, click the Personal link. Otherwise, skip this step.
4. Click Assign Categories.

The Assign Corporate Categories page appears.

5. In the Available Categories list, select the category that you want the object to belong to and use the arrow buttons to move to the Assigned Categories list.

The Available Categories list includes all corporate or personal categories and their subcategories.

Repeat this step for each category that you want the object to be assigned to.
