Overview

Taxonomy terms can be used for helping you categorize events, news, courses and directories on your website. The unit administrator for department websites can add terms to some of the taxonomies in their website. This document shows unit administrators how to add taxonomy terms and then create the correct URL for the new page.

Create a New Taxonomy Term

A new taxonomy term will give you the ability to create a listing of one kind of event on its' own page. For example, if you’d like to have a listing of only lunch and learns, you’ll add a new taxonomy term for 'Lunch and Learn' under Event Types. Here are the steps to get you started.

Step 1: Navigate to Taxonomy

Click on the ‘Structure’ tab at the top of the page. It will take you to a page that looks like the one below. Click on ‘Taxonomy’ to see all of the taxonomies for your website.

Here are the Taxonomy you can use for each Content Type:

Content Type

News

Events

Courses

Personnel

Taxonomy

News/Article/Audience Types

Event Types

Course Type

Level

Personnel Types

Taxonomy List for your website:

Step 2: Add a Term

There are two ways to add a new taxonomy term:
1. You will click on the symbol to the far right of each term, then click on ‘Add terms’.
You can add new terms to News, Course Type, Event Types, Levels, Personnel Types and Tags.

OR

You will click on the 'List Terms' from the Taxonomy list and then you will click on '+Add term' at the top of the page.

For this example, we will be adding a new term to Event types.
Click on ‘Add terms’ for Event Types. You will add a new term of event category for this Taxonomy.

Step 3: Fill out Information for the New Term

The only field required is ‘Name’. You can add a description and choose a parent term if you like.

Step 4: Save

Click on ‘Save’ or ‘Save and go to List’. If you go to the list you can mouse over the plus sign with arrows and move it to where you’d like it to be placed in the list.

Step 5: Use It

Now you’ll create a new Event or edit an existing one. Under Type of Event check the box next to ‘Lunch and Learn’. Click on ‘Save’.

Creating the URL

Now that you have an event, where do you find the listing of all Lunch and Learns you just created? You’ll need to create a URL to view a list of all Lunch and Learns.

Step 1: Creating the URL

This part can be a bit tedious at first, but once you see the patterns, it gets easier. I’ve included a table of the different content types with examples for each.

Examples:

Note: If your taxonomy term has multiple words, you will separate the name with hyphens.
