How to Access

Navigate to the Web Link Category Manager. To add a new Web Link Category, and click on the "New" icon in the toolbar. To edit an existing Web Link Category, click on the Category's Name, or check the Category's checkbox and press the "Edit" icon in the toolbar.

Description

This is where you can add a new Web Link Category or edit an existing one. Note that you need to create at least one Web Link Category before you can create a Web Link. Also, Web Link Categories are separate from other types of Categories, such as those for Articles, Banners, and News Feeds.

Note that the screen for adding and editing Web Link Categories is the same screen used to create Article Categories. However, for Web Link Categories, the only required field is Title. Published, Section, Category Order, and Access Level are not used. An Image and Description may be entered, but they are not displayed on the web site.

• Category Order. This field is not used for Web Link Categories.
• Access Level. This field is not used for Web Link Categories.

Toolbar

At the top right you will see the toolbar:

• Save. Save it and return to editing the menu details.

• Apply. Save it, but stay in the same screen. If you have been working on a screen for a long time and don't want to risk losing your work, pressing Apply saves your work and lets you continue working. If, for example, you lost your Internet connection, your work will be saved up this point.

• Close. Return to the previous screen without saving your work. If you press Close while adding a new item, this new item will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the modifications will not be saved.

• Help. Opens this Help Screen.
