Assigning resource items to several different categories makes navigation easier through a collection. For example, you can categorize resource items based on the yearly data like - 'Year 2000', 'Year 2001', 'Year 2002', and so on, to get a better and clear understanding of the resources on the portal.

To Assign a Category

1. On the Resource Portal, select the resource item that you want to categorize.

2. Click the More button next to the selected resource and choose Categories from the list.

   
   

   Or,

   Click the Edit Document Categories button on the top-right corner of the Resource portal.

   
   

   Or,

   Click the Info button on the extreme right of the Resource Portal, and navigate to the Categories section at the bottom. Then, click the Edit button.

   
   

3. A Categories dialog appears. Select the required category from the list in the Available section or use the search bar to find any.

   
   

   If the resource item is already assigned into certain categories, you will see those categories listed in the Current section.

   
   

   The resource item is now added to the specified category.

Note: Resource items that are not associated with any category, are displayed under No Category in the categories list. If all resource items are associated with a category, then No Category is not shown.

   You can view the added category in the personal category list displayed on the left side of the dialog.
