Deleting Categories

You can delete Categories that are not required. When you apply the changes to SpeechMiner, the Categories you deleted from SMART are removed from SpeechMiner as well, and the Category assignments of all of the calls in the SpeechMiner database are redone (see Applying Changes).

To delete one or more Categories:

1. Make sure the Categories you want to delete are closed.
2. In the left panel, click the Category Manager tab. The list of existing Categories is displayed in the tree structure.
3. In the tree structure, select the Categories you want to delete. To select multiple Categories, hold down the Ctrl key while you click them.
4. In the tree controls above the tree structure, click (Delete). For each Category, a Category Deletion message appears.

5. Click Yes. The Category is deleted. If additional Categories were selected, a Category Deletion message appears for each one. Click Yes to confirm each deletion.

> Note: If you want to delete all of the selected Categories without confirming each one, select Apply to All before you select Yes.
