Before you begin
To add a Keyword (to a Category or Keyword), you must have Category Management rights and Write permissions for the Category.
About this task
Create a Keyword to add a value to a Category, or to create a subcategory of Keywords defining a deeper level of classification. There are two kinds of Keywords:
- an abstract Keyword—defines a generic quality or characteristic of an object or thing. An abstract Keyword contains a logical grouping of Keywords defining a deeper level of classification (concrete Keywords). You cannot classify content against abstract Keywords.
- a concrete Keyword—defines a specific value against which you can classify content.
For example, you would define Size as an abstract Keyword which contains child Keywords Small, Medium, and Large. A Component 'Shirt' cannot have as a value Size, but can be categorized as being Small, Medium, or Large.
Procedure
Results
The Category or Keyword in which the Keyword is created is updated to include the new Keyword.
What to do next
You can use Keywords to define Contact interests or characteristics, or define fields in Components.
