Categories¶
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. The main Categories screen shows a list of all current category groups in the left navigation and a sortable table of the categories in the currently selected category group.
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.
