General

On the General tab, the basic settings and parameters of the current task can be managed. The categories for a document can be assigned, created, edited, and deleted. A category bundles documents in containers, to make categorization easier for the end-user. The categories are only visible to the end-user on the QlikView AccessPoint. Each document can only be part of one category.
