Creating and Managing Your Categories

Categories allow you to organize your content into specific topics of your choosing. Media can be added to more than one category.

Once you have created an App Data Room account, click “Manage Content” to start building categories and organizing your content. You can also create a category from the Create New button at the top of the page.

Creating New Categories

To create a category, click on the group that you would like to add to and then click the "Add Category" button.

Customize your category by giving it a name and a thumbnail picture (optional). You can select a parent category if you'd like to file the new category under an existing one. Once you have finished filling out the information for that category click "Create."

For optional detailed customization, click on the green + button next to Advanced Settings. From here you can limit the availability of media in the Default Availability Restriction for New Media. New media uploaded to this category will only become visible in the apps on the "Availability Date" and disappear on the "Expiration Date."

You can also show localized titles based on the language setting of a user’s mobile device with Internationalization.

Once you have finished filling out the information for that category click “Save.” By clicking “Add More” the category you just made will be saved and you will be brought to a screen to create a new category.

Your category will now appear on the Manage Content page in the group-category breadcrumb.

Editing Existing Categories

To edit an existing category, find the one you need to update and click on the corresponding editing tool, located to the left of the category name.

Clicking on the editing tool will provide you the same customization options that appeared when you created the category. Here you can change the name, thumbnail, parent category, group, availability restriction, and language associated with the category. When you are finished, click "Save" to make your changes final.

Deleting a Category

To delete a category simply find the category you would like to delete and select the corresponding trash icon to the very right of the category name.

Please note: ALL sub-categories will also be deleted! Additionally, ALL media that is in this category, and not associated with another category, will need to be reassigned in the Library tab.
