Each Synthesis repository can contain a large number of analysis projects that may be accessed simultaneously by many different users. The flexible Project Categories feature allows you to group and manage the projects in a way that fits the specific needs of the users and the organization.
Just to give one simple example, the following picture shows a database that uses two category levels, where the projects are grouped first by department and then by product line. Of course, many other groupings could be defined depending on your particular objectives. You can add as many levels of indenture as needed.
This topic describes how an authorized user can configure the categories for a particular database. For information about how to apply the appropriate category to any project, see Project Properties. For information about how to filter any project list based on category, see Filter Properties Window. For additional information, see http://Synthesis.ReliaSoft.com/tips/project_categories.htm.
Users with the “Manage other repository settings” permission can access the Define Project Categories window by choosing File > Manage Repository > Project Categories.
This window displays a list of the project categories that have been defined for the current database, shown in the order in which they will appear throughout the application. If you rename or delete a category, any projects that are already assigned will be updated automatically (the next time the interface is refreshed).
To edit an existing category, double-click inside the cell and edit the text.
To add a new category in the same level as the one that is currently selected, click Add.
To add a new category in the level below the one that is currently selected, click Add Below.
To move a selected category up or down within the same level, select the row and click Up or Down.
To move a selected category to a different level, click Promote or Demote.
To delete a category, select the row and press the Delete key or click the icon. To delete all categories at the same time, click Clear All. There is no undo for delete.
