Q: How do I create Categories

To create a Category in Brandkit, what you are really doing is creating a Filter.

You can think of Categories as Filters.

A Filter is a pre-configured list of Tags that:

1. helps Admins with Asset Tagging
2. helps all Users find Assets with Search Filters

(Fig: Example of Filters used as a Tagging helper in the Admin area)

(Fig: The same Filters used in Search in the Portal)

How to create a Filter

(Fig: Filters page in Admin > Settings > Filters)

1. In Admin navigate to Settings
2. Select Filters
3. Click + Create New Filter
4. Add a Name (e.g. enter ‘Category’)
5. In the Field - select the Tag option from the drop-down list
6. Click Save
7. On the next screen enter a comma separated list of Tags as Category values (e.g. if the Filter name was Season, your list would be something like: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
8. Save

You’ll now find a Search filter for the new Filter in the Admin > Assets view (automatic for all Filters).

You will need to edit the Portal Search page to add the new Filter to the Search Filters options. It will appears in the Filter options in the Search Grid section.

You can also now use the new Filter to create Albums for each Filter value (e.g. Summer)

Enjoy :)
