Depending in how your system has been set up and designed, Categories can be used to categorize a document. The category/categories can be used by: 
  • Search engine to find a document that belongs to a certain category. This can be done automatically or manually
  • Java or JavaScript code in the system to alter properties of the page, or to specify graphical styles like colours, symbols etc.
    E.g.: If a link belongs to a previously created category: "Important", which is configured to set red colour to the links, then this link will be red-coloured
  • Any Java code to create automatic functions that will process data to the preset-up page or position. E.g., to show all links that have been categorized as "ShowOnFirstPage" on the first page.

All categories must be devided by category types.
