System keywords are keywords that are installed by default with the Oracle Central Designer application or that an administrator creates in the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application.

User keywords

User keywords are keywords that a Oracle Central Designer user creates. You cannot view keywords that other users create, and other users cannot view your user keywords. Only study objects can be categorized with user keywords.

Keywords tab > User list You cannot categorize users with user keywords.

Automatically generated categories

Automatically generated categories are categories that automatically catalog study objects by auditing information (for example, the study object type, original author, creation date, and library in which the study object was created).
