Custom categories allow you to categorize content according to any
scheme you want. Custom categories can then be used to compose publishable
views, providing a means to organize method content prior to publishing.
Open the Method Content folder in the method plug-in where
you want to create the custom category.
Right click the Custom Categories folder and select New > Custom
Category. The editor window opens.
Provide descriptive information about the custom category in the
fields available under the Description tab.
Under the Assign tab, you can select the things you want
to include in the custom category. Select individual method elements, processes,
standard categories or custom categories. The custom category
is also available to add to individual elements on the Categories tab
in the appropriate editor.
Once you assign content to the custom category, you can modify
the sequence of the items in the category. This affects the sequence of the
items in the Library View and Configuration View, as
well as in a published Web site if the custom category is included as a view
in a configuration.
To save your new custom category, click File > Save or close
the editor and click Yes when prompted to save the changes.
You can now use the custom category as a view in a published configuration.
In the Library View,
double click the configuration to which you want to add a view. The configuration
editor opens.
Click the Views tab and then click the Add View button.
The Select Categories dialog appears. The Select Categories dialog displays
all the standard and custom categories in the configuration.
Select one or more categories to include as a view in your configuration
and then click OK. The view display provides a preview of how the view
will appear n the published tree browser.
Select a view to display as the default start-up view in the published
Web site, and then click the Make Default button.
To save the configuration, click File > Save or close the configuration
editor and click Yes when prompted to save the changes.
