Categories

Categories are shared labels used across News, Events, and FAQs. They're what make it possible for teaser sections on your pages to pull just the right content — for example, showing only "Meetings" events on one page and only "Shows" on another.

These categories are separate from Document Categories, which organize the Document Library.

Creating a category

Go to Categories under Site Builder.
Click Create Category.
Enter a Name — since categories are shared across News, Events, and FAQs, choose names that make sense in more than one context when possible.
Review the generated Slug.
Make sure Active is on.
Save.
Go to your content records (News, Events, or FAQs) and assign the category where it should be used.

When categories matter

Categories matter most when a page section filters content. For example:

A News Teasers (3) Section can show only news tagged with specific categories
An Events Teasers (3) Section can show only events from selected categories
An FAQs Section can show only FAQs in certain categories

The full News and Events page sections show all active content regardless of category.

Content counts

The Categories index shows how many Events, News, and FAQs items are tagged with each category. This helps you see at a glance where a category is in use. Click the Detail [] button on a category row to open its detail view and see the specific related items.

Tips

Keep names short and easy to recognize.
Avoid creating multiple categories that mean almost the same thing.
Review the content counts before cleaning up old categories.
If you're retiring a category, turning off Active is a safer first step than deleting it.
After changing category assignments on content records, check the page sections that depend on those categories.
