The Topic Manager allows the board administrator to rename a category and change the description and background color associated with the category.

Changing properties for a single category
  1. Go to Topic Manager and click the "Topics" tab.

  2. Click the properties (finger over document) icon next to the category to have its properties changed.

  3. To give the category a new name, enter a new name in the "Category Name" box.

  4. To change the category description, enter a new description in the "Category Description" box.

  5. To change the category background color, choose a new background color by typing an appropriate HEX code into the box, or click the "Color Chart" button and select a color in the resulting pop-up box. (The Color Chart button requires JavaScript and pop-up windows.)

  6. Click the "Save Changes" button to commit the changes.

Changing properties for multiple categories at once
  1. Go to Topic Manager and click the "Topics" tab.

  2. Check the box next to each topic for which you wish to change properties, in the "Mark" column. You can also use the up/down arrows to toggle the checkboxes above (up arrow) or below (down arrow) your current position.

  3. Click the properties (finger over document) icon in the bottom row of the topics table, just to the right of the text "(marked)".

  4. To change the category description, enter a new description in the "Category Description" box.

  5. To change the category background color, choose a new background color by typing an appropriate HEX code into the box, or click the "Color Chart" button and select a color in the resulting pop-up box. (The Color Chart button requires JavaScript and pop-up windows.)

  6. Click the "Save Changes" button to commit the changes.
