By default, when a Category is applied to a container, any items that you add to the container inherit the Category from the container. If you have the proper permissions, you can disable Category inheritance on an individual container.

 

Note

Note:
Changes to Category inheritance do not affect items that are already in a container. For example, disabling Category inheritance affects items that you add to a folder, but does not cause items that are already in the folder to have the Category removed from them.

 

To enable or disable Category inheritance:

  1. On a container's Functions menu, click Properties, and then click Categories.

  2. Click the Edit Inheritance Edit Inheritance icon icon.

    The Edit Inheritance icon is only displayed if the container has a Category applied to it.

  3. For each Category, enable or clear the Disable Inheritance option.

  4. Click Submit.

  5. On the Categories tab of the Properties page, click Submit.
