[Using Sakai] Configuring Section Info tool -- creating categories?

[Lydia Li]

You will need to insert the section categories yourself based on your 
own institution's need.

For example:

insert into cm_sec_category_t (cat_code, cat_descr) values  ('Lecture', 
'Lecture')         ;

hope this helps,
Lydia
