Managing Categories

Expand Categories in left Navigation Bar and click on Manage to open manage categories screen.

1. ID  is the serial number of a category in the knowledge base.
2. Name: This column displays the name (title) assigned to a category. The root category is displayed at the top and sub-categories are displayed underneath it.
3. Priority: This column lets you set the custom display order of categories in the public-facing area of the knowledge base. Categories are listed from lower to higher priority in the front-end area i.e. lower the priority number, the higher the category position in the front-end area.
   Please note that category priority would be effective only if the Sort Order of categories is changed from "Alphabetic order" to "Priority" in Feature Settings  (under the Manage Settings) section of the admin area.
