Defining Content Categories

This transaction allows you to change content categories for physical documents, and to create new ones. Content categories identify logical storage locations. At the physical level, a content category is assigned to a content repository (see also Defining Content Repositories). The physical storage of documents is set by specifying content repositories.

Individual applications have at least one category, which is provided by SAP. If you want to use more categories, you must create them yourself.

When a document is created, the system always evaluates the category that is initially specified. If no category is specified when a document is created, the class default is used. If no class default is available, the previous version is used.

When the document is checked in, the data defined as part of the distribution is evaluated.
