The Category Browser is the default view of the CategoryService. By default, this view shows the three object types collapsed into just three rows in the tree: Config (components), File, and History. In this view, the columns represent categories in the station.
Again, displayed row color provides the same data as in the Permissions Browser, where:
-
Yellow rows are objects explicitly assigned into one or more categories.
-
Dimmed rows represent objects inheriting their parent’s category or categories.
To automatically fully expand the tree, use Show Configured.
Select -> from the menu, or click the 
icon, as shown in Figure 306. The tree expands to show all objects explicitly assigned into one or more categories.
Objects in dimmed rows have a check mark in the first column (Inherit), meaning that they inherit the category or categories of their parent container.
As needed, in any object row, click either:
-
In any category column to explicitly assign an object to a category, or again (toggle) to remove the object from that category.
-
In the Inherit column to return category assignments to match the object’s parent.
With the exception of the three “root” objects (Config, Files, History), each object must either belong to at least one category
or inherit its parent’s category assignments. The three root objects cannot inherit—they must belong to one or more categories.
As shown in Figure 307, remember to after making any needed category assignment changes.
