<h2><a>Exercise 2: Create New Custom Category </a></h2>
<p>The purpose of this exercise is to understand and use <strong>Custom Categories </strong>. </p>
<p><strong>Custom Categories </strong> allow you to categorize content according to any scheme you want. Custom Categories can then be used to compose publishable <strong>Views </strong> providing a means to organize method content prior to publishing. </p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Make sure you are in the <strong>Authoring </strong> perspective. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p> Navigate to <strong>My Plug-in &gt; Method Content &gt; Custom Categories</strong>. If you have not already created this plugin, create it now, or go through the <u>Create Core Method Content</u> tutorial. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p> Create a new custom category named, <span class="style1">my_custom_category</span>. Right-click on the <strong>Custom Categories</strong> folder, highlight <strong>New, </strong> and then click <strong>Custom Category </strong>. </p>
</li>
<li> Open the <strong>Assign </strong> tab. If you have previously created <span class="style1">my_content_packag</span>e, add the <strong>roles </strong>, <strong>artifacts</strong>, <strong>tasks, </strong> and <strong>guidance </strong> from it into the custom category. If you do not have this package, add content from another area in the library. </li>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note: </strong> You can do multiple select using shift or control key . </p>
</blockquote>
<li>
<p> Add the <span class="style1">rup_analysis_design_discipline</span>. You will find this under <strong>RUP &gt; Disciplines &gt; rup_disciplines. </strong></p>
</li>
<li> Open one of the elements you assigned to the new custom category. Observe how the custom category is now reflected in the <strong>Categories </strong> tab. </li>
</ol>
