Manage Course Categories

Categories organize your course library into logical groups (e.g., "Compliance", "Leadership", "Technical Skills"). Learners can filter the library by category to find relevant courses faster.

View Existing Categories#

Go to Admin → Course Management → Categories. The list shows all categories with a count of courses assigned to each.

Create a Category#

1. Click Create category.
2. Enter a Name (required) — this appears in the library filter and on course cards.
3. Enter a Description (optional) — displayed on the category browse page.
4. Upload an Icon or image (optional) — used on the category card in the library.
5. Select a Parent category if this is a sub-category (e.g., "Python" under "Programming").
6. Click Save.

Edit a Category#

1. Click the category name in the list.
2. Update any fields.
3. Click Save changes.

Renaming a category updates it everywhere — on course cards, in filters, and on learner-facing pages — immediately.

Assign a Category to a Course#

Categories are assigned per-course when creating or editing a course:

1. Open the course editor (Admin → Courses → [Course name] → Edit).
2. In the Details section, click the Category dropdown.
3. Select one or more categories.
4. Save the course.

A course can belong to multiple categories.

Delete a Category#

1. Click ⋮ → Delete next to the category.
2. Confirm in the dialog.

Deleting a category does not delete its courses — it only removes the category association. The courses remain published and accessible; they just no longer appear under that category filter.

Reorder Categories#

Drag categories in the list to reorder them. The order determines how categories appear in the library browse view for learners.

Sub-Categories#

You can create a two-level hierarchy:

• Top-level: "Technical Skills"
• Sub-category: "Python", "JavaScript", "Data Analysis"

Learners can browse by top-level category and then filter to a sub-category. Sub-categories appear indented under their parent in the filter panel.

To create a sub-category, set the Parent category field when creating or editing the category.
