This page is directly adapted from a series about creating a special section for your site, such as one used for a conference, program or other reason. So in the example, we'll be adding a category for Event types.

Overview
These steps cover how to create a new classification or checkbox-- called a taxonomy term-- in certain content templates on your website.
Think of taxonomy as a way of classifying content. Only certain content types use taxonomy in our sites: Events, News, and Personnel. Once content is classified, you can use it to "filter" content by the classification.
You can see in this example graphic we have a taxonomy on our event content type, and the classification options are: Seminars, Faculty Visits, Guest Speaker, Big Conference 2021.

Personnel Position
| Personnel Types
| This is where you can do the most damage if you edit existing terms, because we usually have a filter on every category in the menu. For example, if you were to change "Core faculty," which is at in the menu at the /directory/core-faculty url, to "Regular Faculty," /directory/core-faculty will cease to work. You will need to remember to update the link in the menu to /directory/regular-faculty. |
Article Type of News/Audience
| News/Article/Audience Types
| Most folks aren't using this vocabulary. If you don't see that "Type of News/Audience" field in Article and you want to use it, please put in a helpdesk ticket with the web team. |
