Features of Category Manager

• Easily create any new entries.
• Rename existing entries easily. The Category Manager automatically updates all selected Outlook items - regardless of the folder in which the items are located.
• See which categories are most often used - and which are not in use at all. Delete such entries and keep the list of categories as clear as possible.
• Select any Outlook items across folder boundaries and assign categories or remove them.
• You can print out all of the categories.
• Search & Replace within categories. You can change your category naming convention easily to meet changing requirements with just a few steps.


Grouped list of categories

• Export the Master Category List as a text or csv file. With the Category Manager you can import these files on another computer.
  You can also open and edit a csv Category file directly with Microsoft Excel.
• Import text, csv, or registry files. The big advantages are: This works with Outlook 2007 also, and the imported categories do not automatically replace your existing categories, but can also be added to them.
• Helpful filters to clean up your list of categories. Find, for instance, categories which are only stored in Outlook items but not in the Master Category List. Add all of them with one single click to the Master Category List and make them available for all of your Outlook items - or delete them.


Filter categories

• Use a filter to find those categories which you do not use at all. Delete them to keep your Master Category List as clear as possible.
• Undo for all of the actions (up to 50 levels of undo).
• For Outlook 2007 there's another highlight: All of your changes to any categories are also passed to the rules. For example, if there's a rule to categorize incoming e-mails and you rename that category then the rule will be updated, too!


Quick-Cats: Assign categories as fast as lightning!

• Quick-Cats: You can determine the dialog's size and position yourself, and create templates with some categories. Simply hide those categories you currently don't need! Place the dialog on the screen where it will be unobtrusive and it will display whenever an Outlook window becomes active. Because of the templates you don't need to scroll and search in an extensive list of categories. Assign as many categories as you like with only one click!
• New Force categorization: What is the best filing system good for if one forgets to put the data in its place? Category Manager can prompt you if a category assignment is missing. You can determine for every item type (e-mails, contacts, tasks etc.) if you prefer to get just a reminder, or if you want to be forced to assign a category. Of course, you can also turn off the feature for any item type.
• New Only available with the Enterprise version: Publish a central category list for all users in a network. Category Manager loads that data at your preferred intervals. You decide yourself if you want to replace the local Master Category List, or if you want to have the central items be added to it.
