Categorize Plus Reference 
Category Editor Docking Positions

When using either Outlook 2007 or 2003, the Categorize Plus Category Editor can be docked either in the Outlook Navigator or in the Outlook Item List.  In addition, when using Outlook 2007, the Category Editor can also be docked in the To-Do Bar.  For each of these docking locations, the Category Editor can be docked either at the bottom, right or left edge of the Outlook pane.  The Category Editor can also be docked on the top edge of the Outlook Item List and as a shared container with the Outlook Navigator and To-Do Bar panes.  If you currently have an Internet link and wish to learn further information, then please click on the link below to view a flash movie that demonstrates how to move the Category Editor between the various docking locations.  This movie also demonstrates some of the other features for docking the Category Editor.

Category Editor Docking Positions

Compatibility with Taglocity:
Care has been taken to ensure that the docking positions of the Category Editor are compatible with the docking position of the Taglocity Panes when Categorize Plus is used with Taglocity.  Below is a summary of how the compatibility is managed for the various Outlook panes.

  1. Outlook Email List
    Both the Categorize Plus Category Editor and the Taglocity Panes will co-exist peacefully in the Outlook Email List.  For this pane, the Category Editor will always be positioned at the outer edges of the Taglocity Panes and all functionality of all panes is preserved.
     
  2. Outlook Navigation Pane and the To Do Bar
    The Category Editor and the Taglocity Panes are mutually exclusive when positioned in either the Outlook Navigation Pane or the To Do Bar.  Since Categorize Plus offers the ability to dock the Category Editor as a shared container with the Outlook Navigation Pane and the To Do Bar, there is not a way to implement compatibility with the Taglocity Panes. Therefore, if Categorize Plus detects that Taglocity has already docked a pane in these locations, then Categorize Plus will disable docking of the Category Editor in these locations.  Likewise, if the Category Editor is already docked in either of these locations, then Taglocity will also disable docking of the Taglocity Panes in these locations.

    In addition, if the user attempts to open the Category Editor and the last saved location is now occupied by a Taglocity Pane, then Categorize Plus will automatically open the Category Editor in an alternative location that is available. A similar behavior is also true of the Taglocity Panes.
     
  3. Outlook Reading Pane
    Categorize Plus does not allow positioning of the Category Editor in the Outlook Reading Pane. Therefore, there is no need to ensure compatibility when using this pane.
