Setting up categories of publishers and program types

When BBC programs are added to BeebEF, their publishers and types can be selected from drop-down lists. However, these categories first have to be set up.

To do so, select 'Edit|Categories' from the main screen, or press the 'Edit categories' button on the tool bar (the button with the picture of lists--all buttons have popup tips, by the way).

The following window then appears.

The window contains the following sections.

• Publishers. These are the names of program publishers that can be selected from drop-down lists in various parts of BeebEF. To add a publisher, type the name in the edit field and press the 'Add' button or press the Enter key. To delete a publisher, select it from the list and press the 'Delete' button or the Delete key.

• Types. These are the types of programs that can be selected from drop-down lists in various parts of BeebEF. These can categories like, for example, 'Games' and 'Utilities'. Modifying the list of types is similar to modifying the list of publishers.
