Adding a new category
The Asset Browser’s Pages, Templates, and Clips root categories are pre-set within the
system and cannot be moved or deleted, nor can new ones be created. However, you can
create as many subcategories within these root categories as required, as well as edit and
delete them (figure
3-11 ).
Figure 3-11. The Asset Browser organizes assets in a tree-structure of root categories and subcategories
To create a new category or subcategory:
1.
Select the desired root category icon, so that its tree structure appears in the Asset
Browser.
2. If you want the new subcategory to be immediately under the root category, right-click
on the root category’ name in the tree. Otherwise, navigate to the subcategory in which
you would like to create a new subcategory and right-click on its heading.
In both cases, the Asset Browser’s context menu appears.
3. Select the N EW C ATEGORY command from the context menu.
The N EW C ATEGORY window appears.
4. Type the name of the new subcategory in the text box.
5. Click OK.
The new sub-category is displayed below the category heading.

You cannot add or delete root categories from the Asset Browser in Xnews. You must use Xplorer,
Xstudio, or another Vertigo Suite application to add or delete categories. Xnews however, does
allows you to create as many categories within the root categories as you would like.
