Categories
Managing the category trees that group the publications on the public site.
Categories group the publications on the public site by subject and type. They are managed on the Catalogue → Categories screen as trees divided into taxonomies. An installation comes with two taxonomies, one for the fields of science and one for type categories.
A publication can be linked to more than one category. A book must have at least one category before it can be published. Category pages are listed on the public site. Hidden or inactive categories do not appear in the lists of the public site.
A category in use is not deleted but merged into another category. When categories are merged, the publications and subcategories move to the target, and the old address redirects to the target category.
