# BinaryCatQuery

Queries an existing binary category with some text to see if that text belongs in the binary category.

Text or documents that belong in the binary category give a `POSITIVE` result, which means that the answer to the question that the binary category asks (for example "Is this document spam?") is yes. If the text or document does not belong in the binary category, it gives a `NEGATIVE` result. The Category component also returns a score (in the range 0-1) that indicates how well the document fits into the binary category.

You must set Name to specify the binary category to query. You must define the document, file, or text to query with by using one of DocID, DocRef, QueryFile, or QueryText

NOTE: This is an administrative action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.
