Creating Taxonomy Categories


Prerequisites:

Users with permissions can create taxonomy categories to associate with content items.

To create a taxonomy category:
  1. Navigate to Administration > Taxonomy.
  2. Ensure the appropriate language displays in the Language field. When you create the category, Ingeniux CMS saves the value as the category's original language.
    Note
    See Localizing Taxonomy for details about multi-lingual categories.
  3. Expand the appropriate categories. Hover over Taxonomy or an existing category to place the new category as a child.

    Additional Information
    You can establish a parent-child relationship to organize the category in the Taxonomy Tree. See Taxonomy for details about parent and child categories.
