Description: With this feature, you can create categories using custom data sources.
An application to maintain categories and category trees for legal content.
Key features:  With this app, you can do the following:   View the list report for displaying and filtering existing categories When you start the app, a list of existing categories is displayed together with the filter bar that allows the user to either select a predefined filter set, a so-called variant, or to filter the list by using the search or the individual filter fields in the filter bar. The list of categories in the content area has a live update function: the content is updated immediately when a user changes the filter criteria. The following functions are provided in the table toolbar:   Export Categories   Import Categories   Export Category Names   Import Category Names   Delete categories   Create a new root category   Personalization of the table settings, for example displaying additional columns and rearranging the order of the displayed columns.     Create and edit categories From the line items in the table, you can navigate to the item details and review or edit the category and add, display, edit or remove children categories, thus creating a hierarchical tree structure.  Create specific categories for legal document and legal transaction. Use the Purpose field to specify if the category belongs to legal document or legal transaction. Using legal document specific category, the legal counsel can classify documents with unique labels like Important, Critical, Approved and so on.  Use the categories created in this app in the Manage Context, the Request Legal Contract and the Manage Legal Transactions apps.   Add a description to the category in the Description field.   Choose the Export Category Names or Import Category Names options to translate all the category names into several languages at the same time. The export option allows you to download an excel file that contains the category ID, language, and the category name of all the categories that exist in the system. You can then modify the names of all the categories in the excel or add new lines for other languages. You can then import the same file back into the system. Note Before uploading the file, make sure the Activity field value is entered as ‘C’ for Create and ‘U’ for Update to create or update categories.  Generate a category tree from a table that is maintained in the back end system. After creating a root category, you can use the Generate Categories from Table button to select the required category table already available in the system. Select the required category tree from the Category Table pop up. The system uploads data for the leaf categories, from the table that are assigned to the root category. Note that this function is only available for root categories. Select new category tables in the Category Tables pop up. Note that you can select a category table only once for a root category. As a key user, you can configure new categories to populate additional category tables. For more information, refer to the configuration Define Category Models in the Test Scripts available at https://rapid.sap.com/bp/ under the SAP Best Practices section for Enterprise Contract Management (1XV).  Automatically Update Table: Determines whether the generated categories are updated automatically whenever the category table is changed. If the indicator is not set, changes have to be applied manually.   Add a detailed description about the category you are creating.  Replicate categories when you connect two S/4HANA systems. As a key user, you can use the configuration activity Maintain System Type to specify the type of the system to replicate the categories from one system to another.
