Categorizing documents

Set up categories to facilitate information retrieval. A category groups documents by content, independent of location or type of document store. Use categories to filter search results. You can also view lists of documents for each category. By setting up a well-organized category strategy, you can manage information by grouping documents of similar content.

By categorizing documents, you can create groups of documents on behalf of your users. Instead of searching across all documents, you are presented with a predefined set of categories for searching. You can also browse the documents in each category.

NoteLarge documents are broken into smaller sections in Sybase Search, which are referred to as document sections (or slices) and in such cases the document sections are categorized.
