Defining Category Labels

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

On the Categories Tab are 44 check boxes which, in a new Case, are called Category 1 to Category 44. Their default setting is blank; if you click on them with the mouse a check mark appears. An unchecked box has the value No in the Query Wizard. A checked box has the value Yes.

The Labels on the check boxes can be changed. If Category 1 is renamed Negligence, then a check in it means Negligence = Yes i.e. the document referred to in the Item relates to Negligence

To change the labels, go to the Control Panel and take Category Labels from the Set menu at the top. Highlight the one you want to change and press <Edit>. Overtype the existing label and press <Save>. The Label will change immediately on the Categories Tab, and in the Query Wizard and Categories Query and in any Additional Reports in which Categories feature.

Note: Categories do not appear in the Query Wizard if they retain their default names - it is assumed that you will rename any which you want to use and will not want 44 extra entries in the pick-list..

You must have Exclusive Use to edit Category Labels.
