  • Published. Will be used at selectable lists (drop downs).
  • Section. This displays 'N/A' for not applicable, since Sections are not used for Contacts.
  • Category Order. Is used at select lists (drop downs) and at the manager site.
  • Access Level. This field is yet not used for Contact Categories.
  • Image. Image for this Page. Image must be located in the folder "images/stories". You will not normally use an Image for a Contact Category, since it will not display on the page.
  • Image Position. Position of the Image on the page. Select Left or Right from the drop-down list box.
  • Description. Optional description for the Contact Category. This description is just for your information and will not display on the page.
  • Image Button. This command is not normally used for Contact Categories.

Toolbar[edit]

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.
