Creating Code Librarian Categories

  • Article

The Code Librarian uses categories and code item types to organize the code items in the Code Librarian Explorer. By creating a hierarchy of categories, you can make it easier to find specific code. The code item type option provides a means to visually organize your code by customizing the icon associated with the code item.

When you add new code to the library, you can associate it with a default category provided with the Code Librarian, or you can create a new category for the item.

To add a new category

  1. Open the Code Librarian. For details, see Opening the Code Librarian.
  2. In the Code Librarian Explorer, select the library node or category you want to create a new category under.
  3. From the Code Librarian menu, select Add, and then select New Category. The new category appears in the Code Librarian Explorer.
  4. Enter a name for your category by right-clicking on the category in the Code Librarian Explorer, selecting Rename, and then typing the new name.
