There are two types of categories:
| • | Global categories - categories created by the system administrator; can be used by all users |
| • | Custom categories - categories created by a user, i.e. their own ones; only the user who created such category can use it |
Each user can create their own categories and assign documents to them. This can be done in CMS Desk, after selecting a document from the content tree and switching to it's Properties -> Categories tab.
The current user's custom categories are listed in the My categories section. These categories can be Edited (
) or Deleted (
) in this section. Global categories are listed below and can also be edited here with certain limitations compared to editing in Site Manager.
