Listings: Managing categories

 

NOTE—This view and its items can be given customized names by System Administrators, so it may not appear as Listings in your platform's Main Navigation. To learn more, see this article. 

 

Customizing your categories 

Listings Managers can create custom-made categories to ensure the listings posted here are relevant to the needs of your organization.

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) or "Internal Job Postings". 
  • Create an industry-related resource: for example, "New Listings" (Real Estate Agencies), "Discount Packages & Promotions" (Travel Agencies), etc.
