<title>Using Categories</title>

<p>Another way to group contacts, appointments, tasks and memos (summarized by the term "objects" in the following text) is to mark them as belonging to different categories. You can mark an object as being in several categories or no category at all. For example in your address book, you put a friend in the "Business" category because he works with you and the "Friends" category because he is a friend.</p>

<note style="tip"><p>To display only the objects in a particular category, select the corresponding category in the quick <link xref="searching-items">search</link> bar.</p></note>

<title>Configurar categorías para un obxecto</title>

<p>Para marcar un obxecto como pertencente a unha categoría.</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Prema dúas veces no obxecto para mostrar o editor correspondente.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui style="button">Categories…</gui>. (If this button is not available, select <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Categories</gui></guiseq>.)</p></item>
<item><p>Seleccione a categoría desde a lista. Pode seleccionar cantas categorías queira.</p></item>
</steps>

</section>

<section id="managing-categories">
<title>Engadir e xestionar categorías</title>

<p>If the default list of categories does not suit your needs, you can add your own categories either directly via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Available Categories</gui></guiseq>, or indirectly when editing an object:</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Double-click any object to bring up the corresponding editor.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui style="button">Categories…</gui>. (If this button is not available, select <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Categories</gui></guiseq>.)</p></item>
<item><p>Escriba a nova categoría na caixa de entrada de arriba.</p></item>
<item><p>Prema <gui style="button">Aceptar</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Agora poderá ver a categoría desde o campo de texto <gui>Categorías</gui> no editor.</p></item>
<item><p>Prema <gui style="button">Aceptar</gui>.</p></item>
</steps>

<p>In the <gui>Categories Editor</gui> you can edit or set the color and icon for each category available by clicking <gui style="button">Edit</gui> at the bottom of the <gui>Categories</gui> window. Press <gui style="button">Delete</gui> to delete categories from the list.</p>
