User-defined category editor

    The admin can create/modify/delete a custom user-defined regulation category based on the selected set of categories belonging to the same country.

    Further refinement of the selected categories is possible to select/unselect which "Substance IDs" (regulations/queries) should this user-defined category contain.

    However you cannot add new rules to this category. But you can remove regulated substances you have license for.

    Notifications after Knowledge Base update!

    Notifications column shows the number of substances - system updates - in a user-defined category that were Added/Deleted/Modified during the latest Knowledge Base update.

    You can review and accept each user-defined category one by one selecting Edit in the User-defined category list.

    What happens on a Knowledge Base update?

    • When the Knowledge Base is updated all unaccepted notifications will become automatically accepted.

    So before the Knowledge Base update all user-defined categories with Notifications should be reviewed and modified if needed.

    A warning popup is displayed on a Knowledge Base update to remind you that all unaccepted notifications will become automatically applied.

    You should review and accept each user-defined category - that has system updates - one by one selecting Edit in the User-defined categories table.

    In the following example the user-defined categories were created with Knowledge Base v17.10.04.3 and the Knowledge Base was updated recently to v18.07.11.0:

    images/download/attachments/5318534/udcategoryeditor-list-notifications.png

    Reviewing ( Edit ) the SwissEF user-defined category and applying the System updates filters (Added/Modified/Deleted/Not changed) in the above example, 20 substances were deleted, 38 substances were added and 2 substances were modified between the October 04, 2017 and the July 11, 2018 Knowledge Base.

    • Modified substance gets automatically selected at the Knowledge Base update - even if that substance was deselected in the user-defined category.

    • Modified category of a substance results in Add/Delete, i.e. 2 system updates.

    Checking against user-defined categories

    Because Single check or File check can only be run against countries or category groups, a user-defined category group should be created that contains your user-defined category.

    After that you can run the check against that category group.
