Resource Categories
Resource categories allow you to group resources in the Knowledge Base by topic or purpose.
A single resource can be assigned to one or more categories, simplifying navigation and the search for relevant materials.
Creating Resource Categories
To create a new category, you need to go to the Content - Resource categories menu.
The Resource categories page displays all previously created categories as well as the tools available to create new ones:
- (1) - add a new category;
- (2) - add a subcategory (the number of levels is not limited);
- (3) - edit the category title;
- (4) - remove a category;
- (5) - drag handle – the ability to change the order of categories in the list.
You can also create a new category while creating or editing a resource. To do this, click the Categories button and select Create a new category from the drop-down list; this will open the page for creating a new category.

Adding resources to Categories
Each resource can be added to one or more Categories, either immediately upon creation (more details: Creating Learning Resources) or by opening it for editing using the Categories list.
To conveniently find the desired category, you can use the search by name.
To add multiple resources to a specific category at once, you can use the Group Action.
To do this, you need to check the checkboxes of the required resources - after which a panel will appear at the bottom of the screen, click on the arrow and select the Set Categories option from the drop-down list:
After that, a modal window will open with a list of all categories. You need to select one or more categories with checkboxes and click the Save button:
