Talend MDM enables you
to organize elements on Talend MDM Server side by adding
categories for an entity and then assigning one or more first level elements in the
entity to a category.
Warning: This feature only helps to organize elements on Talend MDM Server side. It has therefore no impacts
on Talend MDM Web UI and Talend Data Authoring for MDM.
