Asset categories
In KUMA assets are assigned to tree-structured categories. The category tree is displayed in the left part of the Assets section of the KUMA web interface in the All assets tab, which is selected by default. When a tree node is selected, the assets assigned to it are displayed in the right part of the window. Assets from the subcategories of the selected category are not displayed unless you specify that you want to see assets from subcategories as well.
Categories can be assigned to assets either manually or automatically. Automatic categorization can be responsive, which means that categories are populated with assets by using correlation rules, or automatic categorization can be active, which means that all assets that meet specific conditions are assigned to a category. The categorization method can be specified in the category settings when you create or edit a category.
If you hover the mouse over a category, the ellipsis icon will appear to the right of the category name. Clicking this icon opens a category context menu in which you can select the following options:
- Show assets—display assets of the selected category in the right part of the window.
- Show assets recursively—display assets from the subcategories of the selected category. If you want to exit recursive viewing mode, select another category to view.
- Show info—view information about the selected category in the Category information details area displayed in the right part of the web interface window.
- Start categorization—start automatic attachment of assets to the selected category. This option is available for categories that have active categorization.
- Add subcategory—add a subcategory to the selected category.
- Edit category—edit the selected category.
- Delete category—remove the selected category. It is possible to remove only the categories without assets or subcategories. Otherwise the Delete category option will be inactive.
- Pin as tab—display the selected category in a separate tab You can undo this action by selecting Unpin as tab in the context menu of the relevant category.
