Customizing Item Categories
Item Categories allow users to search and filter the web catalog to facilitate browsing. In addition, custom message space is available for promoting and/or providing additional information for each category.
Default categories are provided to get you started (with images) which you can edit or delete as desired. Categories do not display to the public until an item has been assigned to it.
Note: Some Legacy subscriptions do not include category images or all tools displayed below.
To Manage Categories:
Go to Site Settings > Items > Catalog > Item Categories.
From this page, you can:
- Click Add Category to create a new category.
- Click the Edit icon next to an existing Item Category to edit or delete the category's custom text.
- Drag and drop item categories to change their display order.
- Click an Item Count link under either the # Visible in Public Catalog or Total Number of Items column to view the items in that category.
- Click Hide Empty Categories to hide categories that do not contain any items.
Note: Master Categories (Plus/Professional only) are optional.
