Note: Categories can only be viewed and created by organizational users who have been granted relevant permissions

Step 1 - Select a Category For Deletion

Only sub-categories, or categories that do not have a sub-category, can be deleted. To delete a specific category, right-click on the category and click on the Delete or Shift Assets and Delete button. Confirm the resultant prompt to proceed.

Step 2 - Shift Assets to Alternate Sub-Category

This step is only relevant when deleting sub-categories that currently have assets assigned to them

In case a sub-category needs to be deleted that has assets assigned to it, user will be prompted with a slightly different confirmation dialog, informing that the current sub-category has asset assigned to it, and an alternate sub-category will have to be selected to shift the assets into. Confirming the prompt will return user to the category table. Right-click on the desired alternate sub-category and click on the Select For Transfer option. Confirm the resultant prompt to delete the category and shift it's assets to the selected alternate sub-category.
