What do people use the 'catagories' and 'labels' functions in iView for.

Any innovative ideas.

Categories are exclusive and are not hierarchical. That means an image cannot belong to more than once category, and you cannot have sub-categories within categories. This is just the opposite of catalog sets, which are hierarchical and can have sub-catalogs. Categories are independent of catalog sets.

Use categories to organize your file into exclusive buckets. You could have buckets for avian, fauna, flora, macro, music, people, architecture, landscapes, etc. Or you could have buckets for stock, commercial, work for hire, personal, etc.
