| A Custom Category is a category introduced by a method author to structure any number of Method Content Elements of any |
| type based on user-defined criteria. Custom categories can be used to categorize content based on the user's criteria |
| as well as to define whole tree-structures of nested categories allowing the user to systematically navigate and browse |
| Method Content and Processes based on these categories. This application of Custom Categories is also called <a |
| class="elementLink" href="./../../../base_concepts/guidances/concepts/view,_uMKSsBUFEdqrUt4zetC1gg.html" |
| guid="_uMKSsBUFEdqrUt4zetC1gg">View</a>. |
| </p> |
| <h3> |
| Examples |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| One could create a Custom Category to logically organize content relevant for the user development organization's |
| departments: A "Testing" category would group together all Roles, Work Products, Tasks, Capability Patterns and |
| Guidance relevant to testing. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Another example would be categories that express licensing levels of the content: These categories would separate |
| freely distributable Method Content from Method Content that represents intellectual property and requires a purchased |
| license for use. |
