Sharing Categories over Networks

The ability to publish and subscribe to categories is powerful. You can create large numbers of specific distributions, add them to a category, and then publish it on the network for other users in the organization. Likewise, you can easily subscribe to categories published by others. You can also email categories to others and use categories sent to you.

  To publish a category to a shared folder on the computer or to a location on a network:

  1. Select a category in the Distribution Gallery.

  2. Choose Categories, then Publish.

    The Browse For Folder dialog opens.

  3. Browse to locate the folder where you want to place the category. You can click + to expand a folder and view its subfolders. If you need to create a new folder, select the folder that should include the new folder.

    The new folder is displayed and you can rename it. For example, if you want to create a folder under My Documents, select My Documents. Then, when you click New Folder, the new folder is displayed under My Documents at the same level as My Pictures.

  4. Click OK.

    The dialog closes and a copy of the category is saved there.
