In the Category panel you can select, edit, add and delete categories. The categories entered here can be used to defined the genre a film belongs to.

In order to rapidly go to this panel, just press F7.

You will need to select a category when you are either registering a new film, editing an existing film or searching for a film based on the category dimension. To select a category do as follows:

• Click on Select in order to enter into select modus. The text field turns to white. This is the default modus.

 

• Enter a text into the Search Field. Only categories containing the entered text will be displayed.

 

• Click on the Category you want to select. The selected category including its ID are now shown in the ID and Search Field.

 

• Click OK. Fun Search goes now automatically back to the panel where the selection is needed.

An alternative and quick way to select a category is to press the Ctrl-key followed by the ID of the given category. For instance, the key combination Ctrl+7 will select the category with its ID equal to 7.

Note as well that once a category is selected, you can change to the Edit or Delete modus without losing the selected category.

You can edit the name of an existing category whenever you want. You may need to do so if you for instance discover a misspelling (Thriler instead of Thriller) or decide to change the name of a category (change from Sci-Fi to Science Fiction).

Regardless the reason for which you would like to edit the name of a category, just follow the steps below:

• Click on Edit in order to enter into edit modus. The text field turns to blue.

 

• Click on the category you want to edit. The selected category including its ID are now shown in the ID and Edit Field.

 

• Enter a new name for the selected category into the Edit Field.

 

• Click OK.

Note that once a category has been edited, all registered films that refers to the edited category are also automatically updated.

You can enter any number of categories into Fun Search. The items you enter here will be available later to define the genre a film belongs to. This information represent a very useful dimension to rapidly locate films belonging to a specific genre. To add a new category do as follows:

• Click on Add in order to enter into add modus. The text field turns to green.

 

• Enter a name for the new category into the Edit Field.

 

• Click OK.

When a given category is no longer needed, you may like to delete it. Even though this is an operation that is seldom needed, it helps to save space in your Film Library File. Note however that a category can only be deleted if none of the films registered into Fun Search is refering to it. To delete a category do as follows:

• Click on Delete in order to enter into delete modus. The text field turns to orange.

 

• Click on the Category you want to delete. The selected category including its ID are now shown in the ID and Edit Field.

 

• Click OK.
