Profiling methods
You use the following profiling methods to group content items.
Profiling content items
Taxonomies and categories
A Category refers to the subject matter of content item. For example, content item may be of the category New Products or Latest News. You use taxonomies to group categories. Users select from a predefined list of categories when profiling a Content item.
In most cases, you should only use bottom-level categories to profile content. This will give you more control over what will display in menus.
Keywords
You also use Keywords to profile content. Unlike categories, which are chosen from a predefined list, you can enter any keywords you like when creating content items.
Additional profiling options
Profiling users
You can add profile information to users. This can be used as search parameters in menu elements.
Profiling rendering portlets
You can enter profile information when configuring a rendering portlet. This can be used as search parameters in menu elements.
Profiling versus access controls
Profiling can be used to personalize a website for different users. This is different from using item access controls to limit what items a user can access. In a profile based personalized site, although a user may not be able to access all the pages via personalized menus, they may still be able to access other pages by using navigators, or by searching for content. Using access controls limits a user to only view items that they have been granted access to.
