Description

Resolution:
Symptoms
========
Assuming you have the following categories with the following activity types and view
ParentCat (Activity type: Parenttype, View: ParentView)
- ChildCat (Activity type: subclass_Parenttype, View: ChildView),
when you select the "ParentCat" and "ParentView", "GO", EF showes all the event for both "ParentCat" and "ChildCat".

Impact
======
Display/Reporting Problem

Workaround
==========
1. Create a sub category called "ParentCat Only" from "ParentCat" and associate a view to this new category "ParentCat Only".
OR
2. You can extend "Parenttype" and define an activity type "Parenttype_Only", then associate your view to "Parenttype_Only" custom type.

Cause
=====
This is the correct behavior as per our original design. We understand this is a little confusing.
View is primarily associated to an activity type and the included and excluded categories are just a hint for EventFinder to activate and deactiviate views based on taxonomy selection. These included and excluded categories are not used when you click on "GO".

Resolution
==========
See workaround above.
