Categorizing assets

Categorize assets by using category schemas at both the repository and community levels.

About this task

Categorizing assets helps users find the assets during a search. The asset type and community of the asset may affect which categories are available. Use as many categories that describe the appropriate context for the asset you are submitting.

The asset might be subject to a review process if you assign certain categories to an asset. Community and repository administrators determine which assets of certain types or categorizations will be subject to review.

Procedure

To categorize the asset:

  1. In the Submit an Asset or Modify an Asset page, below the attributes, click the Categories tab.
  2. In the Available Categories field, browse the categories and evaluate whether the asset you are submitting fits in any of the categories.
  3. In the Available Categories field, expand category schemas as necessary and select the categories or sub-categories that describe your asset.
    • Click the name of any category to select it; click again to clear it.
    • If you select a category, its parent categories will automatically be selected.
    • If you select an exclusive category, any conflicting categories will be cleared.
    As you select categories, the categories will appear in the Applied Categorizations field.
  4. Select as many categories as is appropriate for your new asset.

What to do next

Next, add related assets.

When you are ready to submit the asset to the repository, click Save. If you are modifying an existing asset, click Update.
