Category components are used to view and update values of categories. Generally, you would want to display the value of the category; however, you may also specify a version of the value (Data as of), restrict access to read-only, or display other attributes of the category in the same row (for example, a reference value and an indicator). You may also display an annotation or a prompt.
To insert a Category field:
- Follow the general steps described in Inserting a Component.
- Select Category from the Component drop-down list.
- In the Description of field, enter a description of the Category (Text Area) component being added. This will display as a tooltip when you hover over it on a form or a dashboard.
- Check the Reference, Indicator, or Annotation cells to display their respective fields alongside the category value or instead of it.
