Categories organize your business directory into logical sections. You must create at least one category before you can add businesses. This article covers creating, editing, and deleting categories.
Creating a Category
- Navigate to Administer Site > Recommendations.
- Click Create Category (top right of the Categories list).
- Fill in the form:
- Name — The category name as residents will see it. This field is required.
- Visibility — Choose On to make the category visible to residents, or Off to hide it. New categories default to On.
- Click Save.
The new category appears in the Categories list, sorted alphabetically.
Tip: You can create a category with Visibility set to Off while you add businesses to it, then flip it to On when you are ready for residents to see it.
Editing a Category
- Navigate to Administer Site > Recommendations.
- Click the name of the category you want to edit.
- Update the Name or Visibility fields as needed.
- Click Save.
The business listings inside the category are not affected by changes to the category's name or visibility.
Note: Hiding a category (setting Visibility to Off) does not change the status of the businesses inside it. Those businesses remain available to move to another visible category.
Deleting a Category
- Navigate to Administer Site > Recommendations and click the category name.
- On the category edit form, click Delete.
- A confirmation dialog asks: "Do you really want to delete this category?" Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to go back.
Warning: Deleting a category is permanent. Ensure that you have moved or removed all businesses inside the category before deleting it, or those businesses will also be removed from the directory.
Note: The Delete button is only visible to administrators.
