Change History

The date and time that the category was created and last updated are recorded when the category is created and modified. These details are displayed below the category information.

 

Unlink From Template

When a category has been created from a template it is linked to the template. When certain changes are made to the category template, such as adding a new subcategory, the changes are optionally made to all instance categories linked to the template category. To avoid changes being made to a specific category when changes are made to the template that it was created from the category can be unlinked. To unlink the instance category from the template click the Unlink from template link in the top-right of the category information. Click OK on the Modify Category window and click OK on the category configuration window to save all changes.
