CentraSite Documentation : CentraSite Administrator’s Guide : Taxonomies : Adding a Category
Adding a Category
You can subdivide a taxonomy by creating categories and subcategories. When creating categories, keep the following points in mind:
*The Add Category context menu is visible for the following conditions:
*If the taxonomy has already been categorized with one or more child taxonomies (categories).
*If the taxonomy does not have a child category and has NEVER been classified for any of its applicable object types.
*The Add Category context menu is NOT visible for the following conditions:
*If the taxonomy does not include a child category and is classified for at least one of its applicable object types.
*If the taxonomy and it's category are classified for at least one applicable object type.
*If the taxonomy is related to any one of the lifecycle model.
To add a category
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Taxonomies.
2. In the Taxonomies page, locate the custom taxonomy you want to categorize.
3. In the context menu of the taxonomy, choose Add Category.
4. In the Add Category dialog box, specify the following fields:
In this field...
Specify...
Name
A name for the category.
Be aware that this is the name that users will see in the taxonomy hierarchy when they view assets using the Browse page. The name should be meaningful (for example, Business Application Systems, not BAS).
Note:  
A category name does not need to be unique within the taxonomy. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple categories the same name.
Description
Optional. A descriptive comment for the category.
Icon
Optional. The location of a bitmap file that contains an icon that will be displayed in the user interface to identify this category. The bitmap format must be either JPG, GIF or PNG; it should be 16x16 pixels, to match the size of the existing categories.
5. Click OK.
You can expand and collapse the display of the category names by choosing the triangle icon beside the taxonomy name.
