Categories are used to organise your
media content into groups for your users to
find relevant information more easily. They
are displayed on your media hub as a section
showcasing content within your categories as
well as being listed at the top of the
page.

Categories are managed within the
Vennture Media Hub, accessed from the left
hand menu. If you want to add a new category
in, in the categories tab click the Add button
in the top right of your screen then you'll
need to fill in the fields in the window that
opens up. The mains one to fill in are Title
and Slug, the other fields are optional.

There's no limit to the number of
categories you can have, just make sure you
consider your users and use categories that
group your content in the best way for them to
limit the number, otherwise you can end up
with a long list of categories with minimal
content in each.
You can delete categories if you no
longer need these, but make sure you have
updated any items using the category before
you delete as they will be removed entirely
from any items in the media hub.
Translating Categories
If you have a country folders on
your website, then you are able to
translate your media hub items to the
localised language and also able to
translate categories used for these items.
To translate a category, navigate to
the categories section within the
media hub and against the category you
want to translate select the corresponding
country folder.

This will open up a translations
page to be populated showing a
side-by-side comparison of the existing
category and the translated content you
are populating.
You can also use tags within your
media hub to organise your content in a
similar way to categories.
Deleting a Category
To delete a category, you need to
click the bin icon next to the name of the
category in Vennture Media Hub. You may be
presented with a pop-up preventing you from
doing this if the category is in use for any
media item - it will need to be removed from
use everywhere before you delete.
The best way to find all content
tagged up with a category is to go to your
media hub page on your website and use the
category filter to locate all items using the
particular category you want to delete. You
can then update each of these items manually
or use the export/import feature to do this in bulk.
