Editing categories

You can edit an existing category to change its properties. Not all of the available properties are set when you create a category. You may want to edit your category after creating it to specify the rest of the available properties.

You must be a page group or Portal administrator to edit a category.

To edit a category:

  1. Access the Navigator and click Page Groups.

  2. Click Contents next to the name of the page group that contains the category that you want to edit.

    Note: If your category is shared across multiple page groups, click Contents next to Shared Objects. You must be a portal administrator or have Manage privileges to edit shared objects.

  3. Click Categories. If the list of categories is very long, use Find to go directly to the desired category.

  4. If you are editing a child category, click Sub-Categories next to the parent category until you see the child category that you want to edit.

  5. Click Properties next to the category that you want to edit.

  6. Edit the category as desired and, when you are done, click OK.

    Note: The category name must be unique within the page group and the Shared Objects page group. The name is used internally and for direct access URLs. The maximum length is 60 characters.
