Now in the lessons on how to apply Categories to your messages or to customize your list of Categories you may have noticed this command here in the Categorize list. It's called Set Quick Click. You'll also see it if you right-click on a message, you'll see it right here in the Categorize submenu, Set Quick Click, or if you right-click here in the Categories column you can choose it there. No matter how you access the command it results in this dialog box. The Set Quick Click dialog box, in addition to being quite a tongue-twister, allows you to choose a particular Category and make that the Category that's applied by simply clicking a Quick Click in the Categories column. Now here let's say that and Training is appearing there because it's the last Category I used, so let's say Training was the Category that I want to use all the time. All I have to do is click the button and make my choice from the list of Categories. You can see some of them have been customized and some have not; they're still in their generic Blue, Green, whatever Category. But I'm going to choose Training and the reason I'm choosing that is because that is going to be a Category I use a lot. You want to make sure that your Quick Click setting is a Category that you would apply to virtually all of your messages or to virtually all of the messages that would ever be categorized. So I'm going to click OK here and then we'll see it go to work. At this point, instead of having to right-click or choose the Categorize command to apply a Category all I have to do is click in the Categories column with my left mouse, or my main mouse button if you're left-handed and have set your right mouse button to be the main button, that's the one you click. So, a single click and here I go, automatically applies Training. Single-clicking, that's all I'm doing and I'm categorizing these messages as pertaining to Training. Now, let's say you don't want a Quick Click so that by accident you aren't applying Categories by randomly clicking over here or clicking by accident, when you meant to right-click you left-clicked, or just let's say it's not the most convenient thing in the world for you to have that popping up, let's go in and customize it. At this point we can set it to No Category and then click OK. If you have your Quick Click set to No Category and then you click in this column nothing happens as you can see. The message is selected but no Category was applied. If you've inadvertently applied a Category through Quick Clicks that you didn't want to use just right-click the message and choose Clear All Categories and I'll do that to all of these. And then we'll review the process. So to create a Quick Click all you have to do is access the Set Quick Click command, choose the Category you want to apply not just to this one message but to have as the single-click effect, click OK and then begin applying the Category. Again, you can set it to No Quick Click if you don't want to apply anything when you single-click in this Category. So, Quick Clicks make applying a Category really easy, perhaps too easy. It's up to you whether or not it's something you think would be convenient to use.
