The Category editor controls how Perceptive Enterprise Search - Local Administration Console assigns documents to categories, and allows you to over-ride the automatic categorization rules that Perceptive Enterprise Search - Local Administration Console generates.
You can edit the categories of an index by selecting:
Index > Categories
These are the category rules you have manually defined. Category rules are applied in order, and the first one that matches is the one that applies for that document. User Defined Category rules are applied first, and then the Automatic rules.
There are three types of Category rule you may create:
We recommend you try the Automatic Category rules Perceptive Search generates before you define your own categories, as the automatic ones usually produce adequate results. You may then want to add a few specific rules to customize the automatic behavior.
See Adding Categories for more information on how to configure your own category rules.
These are the categories that Perceptive Search has automatically derived for your information. The category rules are applied in order, and the first one that matches is the one that applies. All the rules in the Automatic Categories section are under the control of Perceptive Search, and Perceptive Search may choose to add, alter or delete rules as more information is added to your index.
You may choose to edit an Automatic Category rule, in which case it becomes a User Defined Category instead.
Documents which don't fall into a category through the application of User Defined or Automatic rules are considered to be uncategorized. This setting controls how they are shown in the category list when query results are displayed. For example, you may prefer to identify them as "Other" instead of "Uncategorized"
If you modify any category settings, you may need to run a recategorize to have your changes reflected in the index.
