6.5: Browsing Classifiers

This section explains how to assign "classifiers", which are used for browsing, to the collection. Under the "Design" tab, click "Browsing Classifiers".

To add a classifier, select it using the "Select classifier to add" pull-down list near the bottom and then click "Add Classifier...". A window appears entitled "Configuring Arguments"; instructions for this dialog are just the same as for plugins (see Document Plugins). Once you have configured the new classifier, it is added to the end of the "Assigned Classifiers" list.

To see a short description of a classifier, select it in the "Select classifier to add" pull-down list, then hover the mouse over it. A tool-tip displaying the description will appear.

Each classifier has several arguments that can be configured. Important arguments include "metadata", which specifies the metadata that documents will be classified on, and "buttonname", which is the name that will appear in the navigation bar.

To remove a classifier, select it from the list and click "Remove Classifier".

To change the arguments for a classifier, select it from the list and click "Configure Classifier" (or double-click on the classifier in the list).

The ordering of classifiers in the collection's navigation bar is reflected in their order here. To change it, select the classifier you want to move and click "Move Up" or "Move Down".
