I'm using the Universal Catalog but how can I move all of the categories in Animals & Pets?  From the Universal Catalog up to What under @ Keywords at one time.

@Keywords is a special category. You cannot move other categories into it.

@Keywords mirrors the keywords you assign to files.

For example: In the Keyword Panel you add the keywords Animals|Dinosaurs to one or more files. Under @Keywords you will then see a new entry for Animals and below that for Dinosaurs. And this category contains all files with the keyword Animals|Dinosaurs.

IMatch automatically builds the @Keywords category by looking at the keywords in your files.

After I have done this. I would add Birds to What > Animals & Pets > Birds the I would go back and add Chickens to  What > Animals & Pets > Birds > Chickens?

When you add the keyword What|Animals & Pets|Birds|Chickens to a file, IMatch will add the entire path (each 4 levels) to @Keywords.

Carl it's so your Chickens category will look like this

@Keywords|Universal Catalog|What|Animals and Birds|Birds|Chickens

And that's what you want it to look like.

In other words you are on the right track, just doing what you are doing.

It looks like it.  But I can't say for sure because your screen shot doesn't show the top of the category tree.

And remember to assign at least one image to each category because empty @Keyword categories will be deleted when you refresh Data Driven categories.
