Category Groups¶
Control Panel Location:
This section of the Control Panel is for the management of channel categories. It is where categories and category groups are created, deleted, and preferences are set.
Category groups are collections of categories that can be assigned to channels. You can create a separate group for each channel or use the same group on multiple channels.
The main Categories screen shows a table of all the existing category groups. It lists the category group name and provides links to edit the preferences.
