Add & Manage Categories

Categories can help arrange and organize your content with HCMS. Categories are used for grouping content and assets much like a folder.

Categories are also used for building subscription lists in CivicPlus Notifications. When content or assets are published, administrative users can choose to send notifications to relevant subscription lists based on the category for that item.
