Fear not though, by default, most servers are already equipped with the minimum requirements set forth below, but simply need to be activated if not already. text/html 2012-02-08T14:06:57-06:00 james http://geodesicsolutions.com/support/wiki/admin_menu/categories/category_setup/edit_category/start?rev=1328731617&do=diff Clicking the “edit” button in the “edit category” column of the Categories Setup page gives you the opportunity to make changes to an existing category.

This page should help to document those: Price The price field is numeric-only, and its numbers should be entered in American-style syntax and without a thousands separator. In other words, “$15564.85” and “15,564.85” are both incorrect -- the value in that case should simply read “15564.85”
