Linking categories
Tagging of items, resources and other objects in risr/assess can be onerous. You can now save time and effort by automatically pulling in linked categories when another is chosen.
For discrete dimensions in the master blueprint, it is now possible to link categories in those dimensions together. This means that when the item is tagged any categories that are linked to the selected tag will be automatically populated against the item.

Archived categories
When categories are archived in risr/assess the manage archived categories feature can help you review and apply decisions about the obsolete categories quickly and efficiently. It allows you to remove these in batch across all the objects in the system that may be impacted. The system will ensure that you stay in control with features such as dry-runs and reporting output to facilitate off system checks.
