Self-Help Guides: Create a New Main Category in a Column

Columns in a self-help guide are made up of Main Categories, Sub-categories and resource links. For more information on the structure of a self-help guide, see: Understand the Structure.

Note: These instructions assume you have logged into your Drupal site and that you have permissions to create content in the site.

Creating a New Main Category in a Column

1. Click Content in the Administrator Toolbar.
2. Search for the Self-Help Guide Column you want to update and click Edit.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the column to find an un-used Main Category. If all Main Categories are used, click the Add another item button below the last Main Category.
   
4. Enter a title in the Main Category Title field. 
5. Add Subcategories and links to resources as needed. See the following How-to articles for step-by-step instructions:
   
   • Create a New Subcategory in a Main Column
   • Add a Link to a Resource on Another Website
   • Add a Link to a Resource on the Same Website as the Self-help Guide
6. Save or Publish the column. 
   • Note: The options you see for saving and/or publishing the column will depend on how your site is set up.
