Taxonomy

Create a taxonomy

To create a taxonomy:

1. Go to...
   Applications | Content | Web Content Authoring

2. Create a top-level taxonomy item.

3. Create child categories for the taxonomy item.

We cannot use taxonomies in menu searches. If we need a menu to return results based on content profiled with any category in a taxonomy, create a single top-level category. Then base the menu on the top-level category.

Additional classification options

Classify users	We can add classification information to users. This can be used as search parameters in menu elements.
Classify rendering portlets	We can add classification information a Web Content Viewer Portlet. This can be used as search parameters in menu elements.

Classifying content versus access controls

By classifying content with categories or keywords, we can personalize a website for different users. This is different from using item access controls to limit what items a user can access. In a 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 using navigators, or by searching for content. Using access controls limits a user to only view items they have been granted access to.
