You can manage the categories of tiles and templates that are available when creating
places, and create your own categories for displaying new templates and tiles.
You may find that you don't want to make the full range of templates or tiles available to users who create places, or you may have created some tiles and templates of your own that you'd like to organize in categories when they're displayed in the UI. You can use the admin console to create new categories for templates and tiles and to hide template or tile categories that you don't want users to see.
To manage template or tile categories:
-
In the Admin Console, go to or .
-
If you want to create a new category, click Add a category and type the name in the list.
-
If you want to hide a category from users who are creating new places,
including all the tiles or templates it includes (unless they're also in another category), click
Hide Category. For example, hiding the Places tile category will hide all
the tiles that are unique to that category, and users won't see Places tiles as an option when they're
adding tiles. However, they'll still see the Key Places and Content tile because it is also part of the Content category.
You might find the Tile Reference helpful when thinking about this.
Hiding a category has no effect on places that have already been created. Places that are already using tiles or templates in a category you've hidden will still use them, but they won't be selectable to users who are creating or modifying a place.
-
If you want to delete a category from the list (and make it invisible to users who are creating and editing places), click Delete Category. The category will be marked for deletion. (You won't be able to delete the built-in Jive categories, but you can still hide them if you don't want to use them.)
Deleting a category has no effect on places that have already been created. Places that are already using tiles or templates in a category you've deleted will still use them, but they won't be selectable to users who are creating or modifying a place.

When your list of categories is the way you want it, click Save to apply
your changes.
