The CHGHLPCAT command in TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 is used to change the attributes of an existing help tree category or subcategory, a key feature in the Wisedesk framework. If ADDHLPCAT is how you build the branches, CHGHLPCAT is how you trim, rename, or reassign them as your project evolves.
Use this command to modify the task selection criteria for an existing help tree category. It works the same as selecting a help tree category or subcategory with option 2=Change. (The tree and path fields will vary based on your selection.)
CHGHLPCAT allows you to:
- Update the description of a help tree category
- Reassign it to a different project, resource, or requester
- Modify its task selection criteria
- Adjust its visibility or sequence within the tree
It’s the command-line equivalent of using option 2=Change on the Work with Help Tree Categories panel.
Here’s a breakdown of the key fields:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
TREE | Name of the help tree containing the category |
PATH | Path to the category or subcategory being changed |
DESCRIPTION | New description for the category |
PROJECT | Optional new project ID |
RESOURCE | Optional new resource ID (e.g., developer or team) |
REQUESTER | Optional new requester ID |
VISIBLE | Whether the category is visible to users (*YES or *NO) |
SEQUENCE | New display order within its parent category |
TASKFILTER | Optional new filter criteria for task selection |
You can use *SAME for any field you don’t want to change.
