| you either need to apply a label to each item or create a custom view and
| set up automatic formatting based on the category.
|
| to quickly change labels, use a group by label view (you'll need to create
| it) and drag items to it. You can use a by category view and add a
subgroup
| of labels - label one in each category and drag to the label groups.
