Managing Categories

Categories are words or phrases through which people can add content to predefined groups. You define categories in a way that's specific to a particular place (a space or social group, for example). As you create categories, give thought to how the place's content should be grouped. You can optionally associate certain tags with the category. If you do, someone who uses those tags with content will see the category's name highlighted. This is a cue to consider assigning the content to the category.

By creating or editing categories, you can help ensure that content is organized in the best way for people using the space.

To manage categories:
  1. In the admin console, go to the Categories Management page.
  2. To create a new category:
    1. Click Create New Category.
    2. Enter the new category's name and description.
    3. Enter the tags that should be associated with this category. When people attempt to assign these tags, they'll be prompted to assign the associated category.
    4. Click Save.
  3. To edit an existing category:
    1. Under Categories, locate the category you wan to edit.
    2. Click the category's edit icon.
    3. Edit category properties as needed.
