Hi Tim

category_verticle is a component, which can be found in templates/components

It is called from I believe the leftonly and leftright templates, which are
in templates/ and whose "regions" are in templates/foundation/regions

I have never used UI for that type of thing, but if you open up
category_verticle, I am sure you will find where it pulls its info from.
Maybe the area, or cat db.
