The quickest way to add a category is to use the Shortcuts menu at the top of your screen.

  • Click on the drop-down menu in the top right of the screen and choose Add new file category.

Or you can do it via the Categories tab under Files.

  • Click on the Files menu
  • Choose the Categories tab
  • Click on Add New.

Once you are on the category screen you must complete the following sections:

  • Add a Title. This is the name that will be displayed on the left menu or in any table of contents.
  • Define where it fits in the category hierarchy by choosing a Parent category and an Order. If you don't change these you will add a new top-level category and it will be placed last.

You may also:

  • Control access through Private and Active
  • By checking Allow attach files, files from this category will be allowed to be attached
  • Nominate an owner (Supervisor) for the category

You can find out more about each of these fields and how they work in the Category screen explained.

What is the use of file categories? What are the benefits?

First up, let me say that if you do not use the Downloads area, that is if you concentrate wholly on creating articles and not uploading files, then there is no point in creating categories for files.

If you do use the Downloads area, then using file categories allows you to organize your files, effectively creating sub-folders which users can then use to browse the files by. It also gives you control over which users can access which files, and other functionality similar to article categories.
