The usage of categories is available by default in Operation or CMDB models, through a custom field with element type ‘category’.
- Category field configuration
This is how to category field shows on the formtemplate after configured.
On the first select field there are shown all the Categories of level 1. After a first category is chosen the select of second categories is shown and so on.
Categories in Grids
Categories of different levels can be used on grids of the models that have the category field configured. To be able to display the categories fields in grids, fields should be dropped on the visible columns of grid. The column type should be ‘options’ , so that the category name is displayed and not its entity id.
After adding the categories this is how they will appear on the grid.
