5.3.1.3 Making a Category Available to a Page Group

When you create a category in a page group it is not immediately available for page managers and content contributors to apply to the pages and content in that page group. To make the category available, you must make it visible within the page group. You can also make shared categories available in your page group. And, if you want, you can hide categories so that page managers and contributors cannot use them. To make a category available in a page group:

1. From the Page Groups portlets Work In drop-down list, choose the page group to

be edited. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Builder page.

2. Click the Configure tab.

3. In the Types and Classification section, click the Edit link.

4. In the Hidden Categories list, select the category that you want to make available.

The Hidden and Visible Categories lists include all the categories owned by this page group and the Shared Objects page group.

5. Click the Move icon to move the selected category into the Visible Categories list.

The order of categories in the Visible Categories list determines the order used when items in a region are grouped by category. Note: If the category is shared, it will be in the Shared Objects page group. See Section 4.6, Sharing Objects Across Page Groups Preparing to Add Content 5-27 If you want to make a sub-category visible, its parent category must also be included in the Visible Categories list.

6. Click OK to return to the Configure tab.

7. Click Close.

To exclude a category from a page group, select the category in the Visible Categories list and click the Remove icon. Any items that have already been assigned to that category will still be visible when users view the page, however content contributors cannot assign the category to new items. If you hide a shared category, it is hidden only in the current page group not in all page groups. Even if you exclude all categories from a page group, if an item or page type includes the category attribute, the category list will still be displayed when adding or editing items or pages. The General category will be displayed in the list even though it is not included in the page group.

5.3.1.4 Moving a Category to the Shared Objects Page Group

You can move a category to the Shared Objects page group to make it visible across all page groups. If you do this, note that categories are based on the template in their owning page group, so the category page may look different if its original template and the template in the Shared Objects group are not exactly the same. To move a category to the Shared Objects page group:

1. Use the Navigator to browse to the category that you want to move.

To get to the Navigator click the Navigator link on any page. By default you can find a Navigator link on the Portal Builder page.

2. In the row for the category, click Move to Shared.

3. In the confirmation page, click Yes.

You cannot move a category to the Shared Objects page group if there is a template or page with the same name at the root level of the Shared Objects page group. Consider keeping category names unique to avoid this possibility.

5.3.1.5 Deleting a Category

When you delete a category, any item or page that is assigned to that category is reassigned to the General category. If the category includes sub-categories, those sub-categories will also be deleted. Take care when deleting a category from the Shared Objects page group. Categories in the Shared Objects page group may be used across page groups. Deleting a category from Shared Objects removes it from all page groups that use it. Deleting a Single Category To delete a single category: Note: Objects can be moved to the Shared Objects page group—whose default language is English—from a non-English page group only if the object already has an English translation. This applies to all promotable objects: item types, page types categories, perspectives, attributes, and styles.
