Adding Categories to a Document Record

A category can be used to group documents by sub-type.

The following rules apply to document categories:

• When selecting categories for a single document, only categories that have been applied to the document's document type will be visible.
• Categories can be transferred to documents from the document type if Transfer Categories is enabled in the Document Type profile

For example:

Category	Documents (By Doc Type)
New Product Docs	Requirement Specs Part Lists BOMs FMEAs Engineering Drawings
QA Manuals	Policies Procedures Work Instructions

 

1. From the Document record tree, click the Categories link. For additional information on configuration, see Document Categories.
   Result: The Categories window is displayed.
2. Click Action > Add.
   
3. Zoom from the Category field and select all categories to which the document will belong.
4. Click the Save button.
   Result: The document has been added to the categories.
