Content Type Category
Content Type Category is a CMS configuration that allows multiple content types to be grouped together, simplifying the user interface.

The relationship between Content Types and Content Type Categories is many-to-many, meaning a content type can belong to multiple categories, and a category can contain multiple content types.

For instructions on setting up categories, see Creating Content Type Category.

Website Administrators can configure each control or widget that supports content types to display either:
  • A specific Content Type, or
  • One or more Content Type Categories
Content Type Categories can also be used to support multiple calendars.

When a Content Type Category is marked as Show on Calendar, that category becomes a separate calendar view.
