Categorizing content

Categorization enables contents to be grouped and classified. Categories are normally structured as per the organization business taxonomy.

For example, Alfresco comes with a default set of categories which you can use—

1. 1. Regions

2. 2. Software Document Classification

3. 3. Languages

You can create your own categories and classify your documents with those. <<Alfresco administrators can only define new categories other users don't have rights to define new categories in alfresco>>

Getting ready

Let's first have a look at the available categories.

1. 1. Click on the Administration Console link on the top bar.

   

2. 2. Click on Category Management. The list of root level categories comes up.

   

3. 3. Except for the InfoAxon Solutions, other categories are supplied by default.

4. 4. This is the Software Document Classification category hierarchy.

   

We will use this category further in this recipe.

We again take the About InfoAxon.html document to categorize.
