The Repository Explorer displays the contents of your BusinessObjects
Enterprise Repository as a tree with folders, subfolders, categories, and
subcategories. Two folders and two categories are supplied through
BusinessObjects Enterprise; these are called: Repository Items, Enterprise
Items, Categories, and Personal Categories.
You can add subfolders and subcategories. You can rename subfolders
and subcategories as you like.
