Add a category
To add a category to your application, first of all navigate to the Group Node of your YUDU Publisher client area and select Categories from the top right menu:
Here the user will see the Manage Categories page which contains any previously added categories along with the ability to add, remove and reorder as required.

Default - Whether this is the default category that appears
Add Publications to Categories
