Add categories with Quick Add
This is the fast way to add new categories. Click a categories folder and turn on the Quick Add feature by clicking the Quick Add button. Start typing a category, and press the Enter key. The category will be added to the list. You can keep typing a category and pressing the Enter key to continuously add new categories. After you are finished adding all the categories, you can reorder the categories by clicking the Up (Ctrl+Up) and Down (Ctrl+Down) buttons. You can build a parent child relationship by dragging and dropping selected categories into another category.
Add a category in the Categories tab
|
You can add categories directly in the Categories tab. If you have only a few extra categories to add, this can be a convenient way to do so. If you have lots of categories to add, using Quick Add will be much faster. In the Categories tab, click the right mouse button and select "New Category". Type the new category name and press the Enter key. If you want to add a child category for the currently selected category, select "New Child".
You can reorder the categories by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging and dropping selected category to its new position. You can drag and drop selected categories to another position to create a parent child relationship. To promote a category to a higher level, click the right mouse button and select "Move Category Left". |
Add a category in a separate Window
To add a category in its own window, click the "New Category" button. First type the category name. In this window, you can add more information about the category. In the Definition box, you can add a short description. If the category has other names, you can add them in the "Other names" list. The URI field can be used to identify a resource on the Internet. If you just want to use a category for tagging, just entering the category name will be enough. All the other fields are for building topic maps in the categories module, which will be covered in another chapter.
Import categories
If you already have a term list, you can import the file into a Biblioscape categories module. Go to "File | Import...". Click the "Browse..." button to select the file you want to import. Click the "Start" button to run the import wizard. You can choose to import a document, spreadsheet, or a database. Many formats are supported. Just follow the wizard step by step.
