iv.To assign additional sub-categories to component type, from the drop-down list, check the relevant sub-categories.

In this example, I have selected an additional sub-category “Fiber Cable Outdoor”.
 
As a result, component type “Cable 48f” will have a sub-category pool of “Fiber Cable Indoor” and “Fiber Cable Outdoor”.
