The Category and Library Panels

Image: The Category and Library Panels

The Library and Category Panels are located at the bottom center of the LiveWorship window, between the Media Panel and the Text Editor Panel. This panel directly linked to the selection that is made in the Media Panel. When you select an object title in the Media Library, you will see associated objects displayed in the Library Panel. The Category Panel is used to either show all items or narrow the list in the Library Panel based upon categories that have been assigned to objects. If no categories have been created, you will only see the "<All>" category. If you create a category and select it and see no objects in the Library Panel, you have not assigned any objects to this category. See below for more information on how to assign objects to categories.

How the Category Panel works

Creating Categories
Clicking with the right mouse button (or with single button Macintosh mice, hold the control key while clicking with the mouse) in the Category Panel will bring up a "contextual menu". If you click on a Category item, you can rename, delete or add a new category. If you click on a blank area of the panel, you will only have the option to create a new category.

You will be then be prompted for the name of this new category.

Assigning Objects in the Library Panel to Categories
Once you have created a new category, you can then assign objects in the Library Panel to these categories. Clicking with the right mouse button (or with single button Macintosh mice, hold the control key while clicking with the mouse) on an object will bring up a "contextual menu", then select "Category Properties".

A window will pop open and all of your custom categories will be listed. Assign this object to as many categories as appropriate by selecting the check boxes for each category.

Now when you select one of the categories in the Category Panel that was assigned to this object, you will see this object listed in the Library Panel. These custom categories can be used to organize or quickly access frequently used objects in the Library Panel.

Note: If NO items show up in the Library Panel, you may have zero objects assigned to the selected category yet. Select the <All> category and assign a category to at least one of the objects (see above). If no objects appear in the <All> category, you may have no items of this type in your Media Library.
