The categorization drill-down control can be added to any Show Table page where at least one data field has been designated as a navigation “category” by the application developer.
This Yahoo-style hierarchical drill-down tool can be added to any table control, allowing end-users to navigate through the data. The hierarchical drill-down control is added automatically to any table control where one or more fields (table columns) have been designated as a “category.” For example, the result of a CategoryFilter tag might look like:
All > Sony > VCR’s Heads: 4-Heads ę
The CategoryFilter tag displays a label on the left or the line corresponding to the field being selected. For example, the Manufacturer is the label shown to the left of the current category.
All > Manufacturer: Sony ę
If the specified Type is SubCategory, the CategoryFilter tag displays the drop down list of field values from which to select and a label at the left displaying database field name being displayed as a category path.

This tag requires a binding between it and another control, typically the table that it modifies. You must manually hook up the control to the table in the tag’s Properties dialog in the Bindings tab.
The fields displayed in the CategoryFilter are not required to be displayed in the table shown to the user.
