There are four sections (tables) in this screen that we will explain:

The listing of categories:

This section of the page displays you current categories in an expandable tree. If no subcategories exist yet, all that you will see is the TOP category. The category structure is hierarchical, i.e., the top category is the only category with no parent. The display includes the list of subcategories for the current category, for each sub -category the name, number of sub-categories, number of objects in the category and links to edit/remove the category.

The up/top links can be used to go to the parent category (up) or the top category (top).

Editing or adding sub categories

This section displays a form where you can edit or add a subcategory to the current category, just indicate a name and a description.

Category objects

This section shows a list of objects in the current category, you can remove the objects that you want to remove. Removing an object from a category only removes it from the listing; the object remains in Tiki.

Adding objects to the current category

You can add existing Tiki objects to the current category. Select the object from one of the combos and click add. Note: if you have too many objects you first may want to filter object names; use the find filter at the top. You can categorize the following objects:
