# Introduction

To use the IDOL Category component to use an XML file to create a category structure in IDOL:

- Import a hierarchy from an XML file, by running the `CategoryImportFromXML` action, as in this example:

      action=CategoryImportFromXML&ImportFilename=MyCategory.xml&BuildNow=True

  For information on importing category information by using the Category component, see Categorization.
