Cumulus offers different types of categories: Normal Categories, Related Categories and Folder Categories. These category types have the following characteristics:
• Normal Categories can be created by the user at any position in the category hierarchy. We recommend creating individual categories either in the Categories or the Keyword tree.
• Related Categories are aliases of existing categories which can be created by the user. They can be placed in any position in the category hierarchy. Complete alternate catalog hierarchies can be built using related categories.
• Folder Categories are automatically created by Cumulus during the cataloging process. These automatically created categories reflect the folder or directory hierarchy in which the assets reside. The Source tree displays them all. They are created by default but this option can be disabled (with Workgroup or Enterprise, by users with the specified rights only).
NOTE: Live Filtering (optional) If you can see categories but can’t select them, your administrator has activated pre-selections for you and those categories do not belong to the range of pre-selections.
