Category Actions

Category Actions are actions that Categorize Plus automatically performs based on the categories assigned to Outlook items.  There are six possible actions that can be automatically performed when categorizing items, and the user is given complete control to determine when these actions are applied.  Please refer to the Category Actions help topic for additional information.

Six Actions that can be Automatically Performed

• Move to Folder automatically moves the matching Outlook items to a specified folder.
• Add Categories will add the specified categories to the matching Outlook items.
• Remove Categories will remove the specified categories from the matching Outlook items.
• Change Read Status will change the read status to either "Mark as Read" or "Mark as Unread".
• Create Task will create an Outlook Task item using information from the item being categorized.
• Create Appointment will create an Outlook Appointment item using information from the item being categorized.

Note:  For the Create Task and Create Appointment actions, if more than one item is currently selected, then the action will only be applied to the first item in the selection.
