Merging or Combining Categories

If you want to combine two or more existing categories into a new category, you can merge them. When you merge categories, a new category is created with a generic name. All of the concepts, types, and patterns used in the category descriptors are moved into this new category. You can later rename this category by editing the category properties.

To Merge a Category or Part of a Category

1. In the Categories pane, select the elements you would like to merge together.
2. From the menus, choose Categories > Merge Categories. The Category Properties dialog box is displayed in which you enter a name for the newly created category. The selected categories are merged into the new category as subcategories.
