dotCMS - Open Source Content Management System, Ondemand CMS, and Professional Support

Categories Taxonomy

Categories are preset lists of permissioned labels that Content Contributors may/must use to "Categorize" a particular piece of Content they are contributing. As opposed using the Tag field on a Content Structure where users can label Content with any and all keywords that pertain to the Content being created, using Categories provides only a pre-defined set of choices by which Content Contributors can organize Content.  These Categories can be used throughout the website to dynamically display only certain content that relates to the information desired on a particular HTML page.

The following documentation articles illustrate how to create and manage categories on dotCMS.
