Customizing your Listings Categories
Listings Managers can create custom-made categories to help organize your Listings. This also allows Listings to be used for multiple use cases at once.
Here's just a few of the many ways this view and its categories can be customized:
- Expand on traditional buy-and-sell ads by adding “Free Item” and “For Trade” options.
- Broaden the view to include workplace listings, with categories like "Shift Swap Requests" (see example below), "Internal Job Postings" or "Employee Discounts".
- Create an industry-related resource: for example, "New Listings" (Real Estate Agencies), "Discount Packages & Promotions" (Travel Agencies), etc.
In this example Shift Swap listing, a convention is being used to make the Listing Titles easy to scan.
Managing Listings Categories
Listings Managers can create a new Listing Category by:
1. Clicking on the Action Menu (three dots) on the far right of the Listings Action Bar
2. Selecting Manage Categories
2. Click Add a Category which will add a new Category to the bottom of the list
3. Name your new Category
4. Click Save
From Manage Categories, Listings Managers can:
- Edit Category names
- Select a color for the Category Label via the color boxes on the left
- Remove a Category via the Delete action in the Category's Action Menu
Notes:
- You cannot delete the top Category in the Category List. Move it down and then delete it.
- When you delete a Category, any Listings using that Category will be re-categorized to whatever is the first Category on the Category List.
