The DC Password And Encrypted Data Manager, allows you to create and assign categories to Passwords and General Notes records. This allows you to group these records a variety of ways, for better organization and improved efficiency. For example, if you create a category called Tech Web Sites, then assign it to Passwords records with the names Ars Technica, Cnet, Zdnet, etc., when you select the category Tech Web Sites in the Category combo box below the Names list box in the Passwords section of the application, only these records will appear in the application.
Not only can you assign a single category to a Passwords or General Notes record, you can assign an unlimited amount. This allows e.g. a Passwords record to appear under several categories of records.
Managing Your List Of Categories
To create a list of categories, after selecting either Passwords or General Notes on the navigation tree to the left of the screen, click on the Edit Categories button on the ribbon bar. Next, click on the Manage List tab in the resulting dialog box.
To add a new category, click on the Add button on the toolbar for the dialog box. This clears away any category which may be found in the text box below the list box, which lists the categories that are available for assignment to the Passwords or General Notes records you are in. Next, type in a new category into the text box below the list box displayed in the dialog box. Next, click on the Save button on the toolbar for the dialog box, to save the category you just added. If you want, you may click on the Sort button on the toolbar for the dialog box, to sort the category values in the list box. Note: if after beginning to add a new category to your list, you decide against it, you may click on the Clear button on the toolbar for the dialog box, instead of the Save button, to clear away your effort to add a new category.
To edit a category present in the list box under the Manage List tab for the Edit Categories dialog box, select the category in the list box, and simply edit the category in the text box below the list box. After you are done, click on the Save button on the toolbar for the dialog box, to save the category you just modified.

Note: when you edit a category, all Passwords or General Notes records that were previously assigned the category, will be automatically updated with the edited value of the category.
To delete a category present in the list box under the Manage List tab for the Edit Categories dialog box, select the category in the list box, and simply click on the Delete button on the toolbar for the dialog box. Clicking on the Yes button in the resulting confirmation dialog box, will result in the category you selected in the list box, being deleted.
