IDOL View Component 24.2

# Create Categories by Copying Categories

You can create a category by copying an existing category and retraining or editing it, by using the `CategoryCopy` action. The IDOL Category component stores the new category in the same position in the `root` category as the original category, unless you specify a parent category for it. For example:

    action=CategoryCopy&Category=123456789012345&Name=BotanicsCopy&Parent=98765432109876&BuildNow=True

In this example, Category copies the category with the ID `123456789012345`. It calls the new category `BotanicsCopy` and stores it as a child category of the category with the ID `98765432109876`. The `BuildNow` parameter instructs Category to build the categories immediately, so that they become active. You can also activate the category at a later point by using the `CategoryBuild` action.
