What Are Info Article Categories?
Info articles can be published within different categories. Grouping them into categories provides a better overview of the various topics that serve to inform your residents. You can simply select an info article category when creating an info article, after you have selected the visibility.
Managing Info Article Categories
If no categories have been preset yet, or the preset categories are not sufficient for you, you can also add new categories yourself and edit existing ones. Below we explain how to proceed:
- Go to Allthings Compass.
- Open the Platform Settings and select the app you want to edit.
- Open the Function Settings.
- Open the Information function.
Adding a Category
- Via the "Functions" tab in Platform Settings and selecting the "Information" function, you have the option to create info article categories. To add a new category, simply click in the "Add or search for a category" field and enter the name of the new category. Confirm the entry by pressing Enter (↩).
- Afterwards, you can adjust the translations of the category name.
- For the category to also appear when creating info articles, select the "visibility icon" on the right side of the category. The category is then visible.
Managing and Deleting Categories
After creating a category, you can also edit it at any later time.
- You can adjust the category name in the various languages of the app.
- You can restrict the visibility of the category again by selecting the "visibility icon" once more. If info articles have already been published in this category, the category and the info articles it contains remain visible to app users. However, the category can no longer be selected when creating a new info article.
- If you want to permanently delete a category, click the "delete icon". Deleting a category is not possible as long as it is used by an info article. In this case, first delete the info articles that use the category.
