How to add a Category to an existing Idea?

[Akif Shah]

We just upgraded to Orlando and i wanted to see how to add a category to an existing Idea?

I already created a new Category in the [im_category] table called "Test Category" and i wanted to assign an existing Idea [IDEA000001] to this category. How can we achieve this?

OOTB there is no category on IDEA so is it custom then can share screenshot.

No that is not true there is an Idea Category OOTB

Im unable to view any ideas on the portal.

But on the platform side it shows that i have over 600 ideas in the [idea] table.

Im guessing this is because of missing category on the existing 600 ideas? So is there a way to add the category from the platform side? I created a custom category on the [im_category] table called 'Test Category'

You can edit the idea from the portal to add in the new category
