The values that can be held by the category are defined in the Project Schema. Each value is allocated to a ‘slot’ each item holds a set of flags indicating which slots (values) are ‘selected’ for that item.<\/p>\n
When shown in a View or Form, the values for the slots are shown to the user.<\/p>\n It’s now even easier to set up multiple value categories in Project Setup.<\/p>\n The new options are:<\/p>\n There is consequence on existing items in the database for all of the operations above so a warning message will be shown when attempting one of these operations.<\/p>\n If slots 1, 2, 3 are Red, Blue and Green and item AA1 has flags set for 1, 2 it will be seen as Red and Blue. If a subsequent change is made to the schema (after items exist as drafts or baseline items), making slot 1, 2, 3 Red, Orange, Blue and Green, will result in item AA1 being defines as Red and Orange. This is because the flags tally with the slot. Users should query on existing data to see which items will be affected and subsequently update those they wish to change individually, or using “Item Properties”.<\/p>\n![\"Showing](\"https:\/\/www.threesl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Multi_Cat.png\")
