About
This module is used to set the root category for the application and to define which external applications or categories should be displayed to the user.
Categories define the taxonomy and hierarchical structure of your MediaSpace site. You can access categories through the Navigation icon and browse your content according to the categories in which they are contained. Each category opens up the list of sub-categories that are pre-configured by your account administrator.
