How to remove the '<none>' title when printing the 'Categories Structural Summary'

Here's an interesting technical support case

Request
Why is it that when I print the 'Categories Structural Summary' page of the bill of quantities, it comes out with a title saying '<none>'?
(See image)

Is there a way of removing that annoying '<none>' title when printing my documents?

Answer
This happens when one or more items aren't assigned to a 'Category' (Super Category, Category or Sub Category).

To get rid of the '<none>' title in the 'Structural Summary' make sure that all items are assigned to a 'Category' (Super Category, Category or Sub Category).


HOW TO PROCEED
#1 - enable filtering of '<none>' in the ' structure ' toolbox
1) access to the 'Measurements' editor;
2) open the ' structure ' toolbox;
3) select the sort by 'Super Categories' method;
4) do a right mouse button click on '<none>';
5) select 'Activate Filter';

#2 - assign the highlighted items to their relating work categories
6) highlight the resulting measurement items after activating the filter on '<none>';
How to highlight items :
a) to highlight and select measurement items, simply proceed with the following keyboard combination: ' Shift '+' Ctrl '+' E ';
b) to highlight single items, use this combination: keep the ' Shift ' key pressed + 'keyboard Left Mouse button Click ' on the items you wish to highlight.

7) 'Right mouse button click' on an entry to open the local menu;
8) activate ' Edit selection block...';
9) select 'Super Categories';
10) choose the approriate 'TITLE' from the combo box;
11) click 'OK' to execute the command and close the dialog;
12) to access the 'Print' editor;

IMPORTANT !!!
Repeat the procedure from point 3) to the point 11) after you apply the filter on <none> present in the 'Categories grouping ' (see illustration) and then in the 'Sub Categories' grouping (see illustration).

#3 - Printing the work categories structural summary
13) select the 'Cost Estimate' document;
14) open the 'Categories' page under print settings;
15) select 'Work categories structural summary'.
