CategoryBrowser is the default view of a station’s CategoryService. Use it to assign objects in the station into categories. This view presents an expandable tree table where the table columns are the available categories, and rows are the categorizable objects.

For any object except the three root objects: station (components), file, and history, you can check to inherit its parent’s categories. For root objects, you must select at least one category.

For any component, you can alternately use its CategorySheet view to assign it categories. See categories for details on how categories affect security, and Category Browser for more details on this CategoryService view.
