Directory categories

If the directory you are creating will accommodate datasets that benefit from additional categorisation, you can create a dedicated structure for it.

Managing directory categories

1. When editing a directory, navigate to the directory overview by clicking the Taxonomy tab. The directory category management page will open.
2. The tree of directory categories will be shown in the left panel of the directory category management page. Actions you can take to add or edit categories will be shown in the right panel.
