| <h1 class="topictitle1">Create a Method View with Custom Categories</h1> |
| <div><div class="section">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.<p>To |
| create a new custom category:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li><span>Switch to the <a href="authoringperspective.html#authoringperspective">Authoring Perspective</a>.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Open the <strong>Method Content</strong> folder in the method plug-in where |
| you want to create the custom category.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Right click the Custom Categories folder and select <strong>New > Custom |
| Category</strong>. The editor window opens.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Provide descriptive information about the custom category in the |
| fields available under the <strong>Description</strong> tab.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Under the <strong>Assign</strong> 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 <strong>Categories</strong> tab |
| in the appropriate editor.</span></li> |
| <li><span>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 <a href="libraryview.html#libraryview">Library View</a> and <a href="configurationview.html#configurationview">Configuration View</a>, as |
| well as in a published Web site if the custom category is included as a view |
| in a configuration.</span></li> |
| <li><span>To save your new custom category, click <strong>File > Save</strong> or close |
| the editor and click <strong>Yes</strong> when prompted to save the changes.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="section">You can now use the custom category as a view in a published configuration.<ol><li>Switch to the <a href="authoringperspective.html#authoringperspective">Authoring Perspective</a>.</li> |
| <li>In the <a href="libraryview.html#libraryview">Library View</a>, |
| double click the configuration to which you want to add a view. The configuration |
| editor opens.</li> |
| <li>Click the <strong>Views</strong> tab and then click the <strong>Add View</strong> button. |
| The Select Categories dialog appears. The Select Categories dialog displays |
| all the standard and custom categories in the configuration.</li> |
| <li>Select one or more categories to include as a view in your configuration |
| and then click <strong>OK</strong>. The view display provides a preview of how the view |
| will appear n the published tree browser.</li> |
| <li>Select a view to display as the default start-up view in the published |
| Web site, and then click the <strong>Make Default</strong> button.</li> |
| <li>To save the configuration, click <strong>File > Save</strong> or close the configuration |
| editor and click <strong>Yes</strong> when prompted to save the changes.</li> |
