Existing search categories and levels appear on the screen for reference. You can set a "hierarchy" or a "parallel list" of search categories in Inventory Setup.

A "parallel list" is an independent list of categories and items can be attached to several of these categories at once. See Inventory General Setup in the Related Topics section at the bottom of this Help screen for instructions on setting this option.
