Method and system for reconfiguring a selection system based on layers of categories descriptive of recordable events

A method for configuring a selection system based on categories of recordable events and sub-categories of the categories, the method comprising:

• receiving a first set of categories and a respective first set of sub-categories for each of the categories of the first set;
• configuring a selection system in a first mode where the selection system uses the first set of categories and the respective first sets of sub-categories to guide user selection of recordable events;
• receiving a second set of categories and one or more respective second sets of sub-categories for each of the categories of the second set;
• and
• reconfiguring the selection system in a second mode where the selection system uses the second set of categories and the respective second sets of sub-categories to guide user selection of recordable events.

A system for selection of a series of recordable events from among a set of recordable events, the system comprising:

• a communication interface for receiving (i) a first set of categories, (ii) a respective first set of sub-categories for each of the categories, and (iii) a first communication for updating the first set of categories and/or a given first set of sub-categories from among the respective first sets of sub-categories;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the communication interface, the processor for executing a set of program instructions;
• a user interface for displaying (i) the first set of categories, and (ii) the respective first set of sub-categories for a category in response to receiving a user selection of the category;
• and
• data storage communicatively coupled to the processor, the data storage for storing (i) the first set of categories, (ii) the respective first sets of sub-categories, and (iii) the set of program instructions, wherein the set of program instructions include instructions, executable in response to receiving the first communication, for creating an updated set of categories for displaying at the user interface instead of the first set of categories, and/or creating an updated set of sub-categories for displaying at the user interface instead of the given first set of sub-categories.
