Package com.businessobjects.enterprise.category Description

This package contains two classes that allow you to manage categories.

BusinessObjects Enterprise provides two types of categories:

Categories

• Categories are used to organize large sets of information into coherent subsets. Each subset can be associated with a distinct category and set of rights. This pattern can be propagated into more specific subcategories.

Personal Categories

• A personal category is automatically created for each user when they are added to the BusinessObjects Enterprise system. Personal categories are used to organize information for a specific user. Each personal category can have subcategories.

In order to query for Categories and their associated subcategories , you will have to query for both the SI_CORPORATE_CATEGORIES and the SI_CHILDREN properties.

To query for Personal Categories and their associated subcategories, you will have to query for both the SI_PERSONAL_CATEGORIES and the SI_CHILDREN properties.

For more information on categories, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide.
