Editing Category Descriptors

Once you have created some categories, you can open each category to see all of the descriptors that make up its definition. Inside the Category Definitions dialog box, you can make a number of edits to your category descriptors. Also, if categories are shown in the category tree, you can also work with them there.

To Edit a Category

  1. Select the category you want to edit in the Categories pane.
  2. From the menus, choose View > Category Definitions. The Category Definitions dialog box opens.
  3. Select the descriptor you want to edit and click the corresponding toolbar button.

The following table describes each toolbar button that you can use to edit your category definitions.
