New Package Category window

This topic describes the New Package Category window in IBM Director.

Introduction

A software distribution category is used as an organizational and distribution tool. Grouping packages into categories makes them easier to manage. Categories are also tasks. You can drag a category to an agent or group, as you can an individual package; the packages in the category will then be distributed to the agents in the order listed in Selected Packages.
