Subcategories
Subcategories provide an additional level of organization inside the Warehouse. Instead of placing every item directly inside a main category, related items can be grouped together inside subcategories.
For example:
Building Blocks
│
├── Stone
├── Wood
├── Concrete
└── Glass
Each subcategory can contain items just like a normal category.
Creating a Subcategory
Subcategories are created from an existing item. To create a subcategory, first open the category containing the item you want to use.
NOTE: When an item is converted into a SubCategory, the SubCategory is created with a copy of the item as the link. The actual item is then moved inside the SubCategory.
Open the item's Item Options Menu and select the option to "Convert To New SubCategory". Do this by Sneak + cliking the item you wish to convert into a subcategory.

Internal Name
The first step is entering the subcategory's Internal Name. The Internal Name is used internally by RS-Warehouse and must be unique. Enter the desired internal name and pick up the Green Wool.
For example:
wood
The Internal Name is not normally displayed to players.
NOTE: Choose the Internal Name carefully. It should be unique and should describe the purpose of the subcategory.

For example:
- Wood
- Stone

Adding a Description
You can optionally add a description to the subcategory. The description is displayed as lore when players view the subcategory. You can add up to 5 lines of lore. Each line may contain up to 50 characters.
Choose a book. Each book represents a line of lore.
Click the book for the corresponding lore line you wish to add/edit.
Press "T" to open a chat and enter the test you wish to display as the lore.
Once you press "Enter", the text will be saved to the book.
Once you are finished editing the desired "lore" lines simply grab the green Wool
to save the SubCategory.
For example:
Wood blocks and related building materials.

Finishing the Subcategory
Once the information has been completed, confirm the creation. The item used to create the subcategory will become a link to the new subcategory. Clicking that item will open the subcategory and display the items stored inside it. The original item is no longer treated as a normal item in that location.
Moving Items Into a Subcategory
Once a subcategory has been created, items can be moved into it. This allows you to organize large categories into smaller groups.
For example:
Building Blocks
│
├── Stone
│ ├── Stone
│ ├── Cobblestone
│ └── Stone Bricks
│
├── Wood
│ ├── Oak Planks
│ ├── Spruce Planks
│ └── Birch Planks
│
└── Concrete
├── White Concrete
├── Red Concrete
└── Blue Concrete
Opening a Subcategory
Subcategories appear as an item inside their parent category. A SubCategory link can be created out of items within a SubCategory creating multiple levels of organization within a category. Click the subcategory item to open it and view the items inside. You can then browse, deposit, withdraw, and manage the items contained within that subcategory just like other Warehouse items.
