Assigning Categories to Texts
Categories are assigned to text in edit mode. The user does not require further permissions to assign categories. Only categories with the content type “Text” may be assigned to texts. The categories are assigned to a text in the section “Categories”. The section is opened up initially, when a text is opened in edit mode.
In this sections the categories that are required for the text as well as the categories that have already been assigned are listed. The list shows the category title, the assigned category value(s) as well as the options to edit the respective categories. Initially, the list contains all the categories which have to be assigned to the text. When editing a text the categories from which a value has already been assigned to the text are also displayed in the list. Values from categories that are optional can be added via the “Add category” button.
First, the category is selected from a drop down menu. It can only be chosen from the categories which can be optionally assigned to a text.
After selecting a category, one or - if multiple assignment is enabled - several category values can be assigned to the text. By clicking on “Cancel” or by closing the window the assignment can be aborted. By clicking on “OK” the category value(s) are assigned to the text.
Assigned category values can be edited by clicking on the “edit” icon. Optional values can be deleted by clicking on the “Delete” icon. Required categories cannot be removed from the list. The assignment of the categories is saved, when the text is saved and the user leaves the edit mode.
Assign categories to text elements
Categories can be assigned to each text element of a text. The assignment is analogous to a system without text elements.
