Adding or Changing a Search Category Group

Once you have created several root search categories, you can group them together. This way, Information Portal knows which root search categories to display together on an Information Portal Category page. (For more information on creating root search categories, see Adding Search Categories.)

You can create as many search category groups as you want.
