Using Categories

Creating categories ensures easier navigation around various sections of eBMS.  

Categories are always displayed in the left panel whenever available.

When Wide Search checkbox is ticked the selected categories will ensure that either of the selected categories are filtered. When Wide Search is unticked it will filter only what is selected.
