====== Category ======

A category is a independent “tag” for an object. Categories make it possible to organize or group [[Parameter|parameters]], [[Expression|expressions]] and other [[Block|blocks]].

===== Assigning a category =====

To assign a category to a block, either

  * Click the **Category** column of the [[Blocks_window|blocks window]]. Either enter the name of a new category or choose one from the drop down list.
  * Edit the [[Block|block]], and assign the category in the [[Editing_properties|properties page]].

===== Uses of categories =====

In the [[Blocks_window|blocks window]], there is an option to search for blocks of a given category. You can also sort the table by category by clicking the **Category** column header.
