Getting started with search and categories

Here are some handy hints to help you get started with searching for content, using filters, and developing taxonomies to categorize your content and assets.

Step 1: Searching for content and assets

  • Use the search bar to find the exact content that you're looking for without hunting through a maze of folders and sub folders on a shared drive.

  • The search is already scoped to the page from where you’re searching. For example, when you type in a search term from the My content view, the filter named "Me" is already applied.

  • You can also apply filters to the lists of content or assets displayed in your hub. You can filter by status, tag, category, keyword, and more depending on your role.

Step 2: Creating taxonomies

  • Taxonomies are used to create structured sets of categories that are used to classify content.

  • Hub managers and administrators can create taxonomies and categories. To create a taxonomy, go to Content model > Taxonomies. You can reorder the categories in a taxonomy by clicking and dragging.

  • You add a category element to a content type to allow composers to select categories when they are composing content. You select a parent taxonomy or category in the element settings to determine which categories a composer can choose from.

  • Sample taxonomies are included with your hub.

Step 3: Development tools

  • The API information for a list, including search results and filtered lists, is accessed by clicking API Information.

  • Developers can use the API information for a search or filtered list to deliver lists of related content on a website or APP.

  • For example, composers can select a category called "Featured" when composing content. A developer can then use the API information for a filtered list that displays only items categorized as "Featured" to display a list of featured content on a landing page or App.
