What are article categories?
These are how you will categorise all of your articles, you can have as many as you like. They are broad terms which are what each article will belong to. For example an article category may be 'Health and Safety' and you can add all articles to this category if they concern health and safety, making them easy to find.
You can also group articles within categories. For example you may want 'Safety' to be its own category within the 'Health and Safety' category. To do this you simply create another article category but make sure that 'Health and Safety' is selected as its parent category. These are called multi-level categories e.g. Health and safety - Safety - Fire Marshall list
How do I create article categories?
Click ‘articles’ in the left side bar
In the subcategories select ‘Article categories’

How can I make my article category a tile on the Home screen?
Before you create an article dash tile, you need to set a highlight colour and logo for the article category tile.
Click ‘articles’ in the left side bar
In the subcategories select ‘Article categories’
You'll see a list of all your categories displayed in the table. Select the article category that you would like to appear on the dashboard
Under the 'Article Categories' section you need to upload an icon that will be displayed on the dash tile. Contact Ocasta if you need any help, we have a library of icons for you to choose from, or you can use your own.
Select a background colour. This is the colour that will highlight the tile when you hover over it.
Set an accent colour which will adjust the colour of the icon for the tile.
Select 'Update' then follow the instructions to make the tile appear on the Home screen.
