Create a taxonomy
To use a taxonomy, you add a Select field to the content type and associate this field with a taxonomy. This lets the content author select taxonomy values to associate with each content item.
In the following example, the content type on the left includes a Select field called Amenities, which is associated with the taxonomy Amenities. When the content author creates a content item using this type, the Select field lets them choose values from a list.
It is a good idea to plan how you are going to use taxonomies in your content model in advance to avoid having to retag content.
To create a taxonomy:
-
On the menu bar, click Content model > Taxonomies.
-
On the Taxonomies page, click
Create taxonomy. -
In the Create taxonomy dialog, enter a name for the taxonomy. By default, the ID is created using the name. Optionally, enter a different ID if required.
-
Click Continue.
-
On the taxonomy details page, in the Name field, enter a name for the taxonomy value. By default, the ID is created using the name.
-
Optionally, enter a different ID if required.
-
Click Add or press Enter.
-
Repeat steps 5 to 8 to add additional taxonomy values.
-
When you have finished entering the taxonomy values, click Save.
