Managing the post categories on your domain

Overview

Post and alert categories help organize content across your domain, making it easier for users to find and manage posts effectively. Admins can create, edit, delete, and reorder categories directly from the admin portal.


Viewing Post Categories

The List of Categories displays all post categories created by network and intranet admins on your domain.

This list includes options to manage each category:

  • Edit – Modify the name of a category.

  • Delete – Remove the category (this disassociates it from posts but does not delete the posts).

  • New Category – Create a new post category.

  • Save – Apply changes made to categories.


Creating a New Category

To create a new post category click the New Category button to open the Add New Category pop-up.

Enter a name for the category in the Category Name text box.

In the Parent Category drop-down, select a parent category to nest the new one under. Choose No Parent to create a top-level category.

MangoApps supports a maximum of three levels in the category hierarchy (i.e., one parent and two levels of sub-categories).

Click Save to add the category, or Save & add another to add multiple categories in succession.

Click the Save button on the main interface to apply the new category settings to your domain.

Intranet admins can also create categories on the User Portal via Company > Tools > View Post Categories > New Category.


Reordering Post Categories

Drag-and-drop categories to rearrange their sequence.

To nest a category under another, simply drag it under a parent category. This will automatically structure your category hierarchy accordingly.


Deleting a Category

Click the Delete option next to the desired category to delete a post category.

Deleting a category removes its association from the posts but does not delete the posts themselves.
