Organize pane classifications
The Organize pane contains the following classification areas: Categories, Ratings, and Special Items.
Categories
You can use categories to organize and group your files without creating extra copies or moving files
into different folders. You can create new categories, rename or delete existing categories, and assign
multiple categories to files.
Ratings
You can assign a numerical rating from 1 to 5 to your images and files, and store the ratings in the
database. Once you have assigned ratings, you can search, sort, and organize your files based on the
ratings.
Special Items
You can use Special Items to quickly view all of the images in your database, any uncategorized
images, and any tagged files. Select one of the following items:
• Image Well (ALL Images): displays all images cataloged in the ACDSee database. If you have a
substantial image collection, it may take a few moments to gather all of the information.
• Uncategorized: displays any images cataloged in the database that have not been assigned to a
category.
• Tagged: displays any images cataloged in the database that have been assigned to the Tagged
category.
