Deleting a Custom Collector Category

|
Only categories that you have created can be deleted. In the System Configuration Collector Categories table, the editable glyph  appears to the left of the category name to indicate that the category is a custom category that can be deleted. The out-of-the-box categories cannot be deleted. |
Use the following steps to delete a custom category:
1. From the
System Configuration Collector Categories table, click the new category icon
.
The New Category window opens.
2. Enter text in the Name and Description fields to provide the name and description of the category that displays in the System Configuration Collector Categories table.
3. Add plugins to the category by selecting plugins from the Available Plugins table and clicking Add. Alternately, you can drag and drop plugins into the Selected Plugins table. You must add at least one plugin to a category.
To select multiple plugins to add at one time, you can use the standard SHIFT + click and CTRL + click mouse functionality.
The plugins that are added to the category appear as rows in the Selected Plugins table.
If you decide not to include a plugin that has been added to a category, you can remove it from the
Selected Plugins table before saving the category. Select the plugin and click the remove icon
to remove it from the
Selected Plugins table. Clicking
Remove All removes all plugins from the
