What is a category?
Categories are the folders you see in the Catalog Listing on the Catalog Screen. They are simply a way for you to organize your employee training items. Just like you would save a document to your computer and place it in a folder, when you save a catalog item you place it in a category for easy retrieval later. Categories are user definable.
A category is a ReverseIndex to related Wiki pages. Instead of a category page containing forward links to pages of that category, page authors can put a reference to one or more categories on their pages. By clicking on the title of a category page, Wiki will list the pages referenced to that category. For instance: Someone adds the category title ‘CategoryComicBooks’ at the bottom of a page. When someone clicks the link to that category, they are taken to that category’s page. That page may or may not have a more detailed description of what pages it applies to (wiki users are, of course, encouraged to provide those descriptions), but in any case, if the title of that page is then clicked, Wiki will provide a list of all pages having that category’s link in them. To see a list of all categories, click the title of this page. To view the list of categories in alphabetical order, click the LikePages link at the bottom of this page or try http:like?CategoryCategory. What follows on this
Category refers to a classification of industries or markets, which are commonly referred to as verticals. For example, the Entertainment/Music category may include music genres, recording artists, recordings, performances, instruments, and music-related merchandise, and the Health category may include health resources, education, products, and health-related services. Please note that at this time, not all languages support the category feature. When you select a particular category, the data for your search term will be restricted to that category. For example, if you select the Travel category for the search term cruise, the data you see will be restricted to that specific category. If you don’t choose a category, then the data would be comprised across all categories. Tip: Once you’ve opened the category drop-down menu, you can use the shortcuts below. Begin by selecting a category, or type the prefix of the category you wish to see.
