Our Update Category solution allows you to quickly manipulate categories, including adding, removing, and reordering parameters and parameter groups, as well as modifying and validating calculated parameter formulas.
To use it…
Select an Update Category formatted Excel file and run it to process its category tab, which reconstructs the category using the instructions in the Excel file, and (optionally) recalculates the custom data expressions.
CAUTION: if an existing parameter is NOT listed in the Excel file, that parameter will be DROPPED from the category along with any data that currently exists for that parameter.
NOTE: Update Category does not support form logic at this time
