# Database Categories

If category metadata has been applied to a database, the Database Category window will be available:

The Category drop down lists each configured category and the list view displays the fieldname and the field.code. The Context Panel > Properties tab displays attached metadata for the selected field. The search box applies to the Name and Code columns of the list box.
