Content Categories are a customizable part of your uConnect platform that allow you to organize your content even further within a given content type. Each content type that you have in your platform will have a unique set of content categories that you can add, edit and tag content to.
Content categories accomplish three basic purposes for your platform:
They label and organize content within your dashboard, allowing you to easily evaluate and find content
They provide filters for subscribers to determine the blog posts, events, jobs and resources they wish to receive in their alerts
They enable site visitors to filter through content on the front-end to find content that is most relevant to them
Follow the steps below to learn how to organize your content categories!
Add a Content Category:
Click the Manage tab in the left-hand side menu of your dashboard
Hover over Content Categories and click the content type for which you wish to create a category (e.g., Event Categories)
