Controlling the order in which Categories appear in Studio or Studio for InDesign and InCopy

When Categories are created in Studio Server, they are initially listed in the order in which they are created. This order is however also used in the client applications such as in the dialog boxes of Studio or Studio for InDesign and InCopy where the user can choose to which Category a file should be assigned to.

Figure: The order in which Categories are ordered in Studio Server (left) has a direct effect on the way Categories are ordered in the client applications (right, here the Check-in dialog of Studio for InDesign).

When Categories need to be listed in a more logical way (for example alphabetically), their order can be changed by following these steps:

Step 1. In Studio Server, access the Brand Maintenance page in which the Categories need to be reordered by doing the following:

Step 1a. In the Maintenance menu or on the Home page, click Brands.

A page showing all created Brands appears.

Step 1b. Click the name of the Brand.

The Brand Maintenance page appears.

Step 2. Locate the Category options.

Step 3. In the Order box for each listed Category, enter a unique number.

Note: The higher the number, the lower the Category will appear in the list.

Step 4. Click Reorder.
