How do I add a category to a catalog?

When managing catalog categories as a Canvas Catalog admin, you can create categories for your catalog and subcatalogs. Categories are created from tags and subcatalog names.

Any categories in the parent catalog can automatically apply to subcatalogs. However, you can choose to create your own categories for a subcatalog.

Notes:

  • If a subcatalog is inheriting categories from a parent catalog, you cannot add a new category.
  • When viewing a parent catalog, the subcatalog list displays all subcatalogs in the account.
