Self-Help Guides: Work with Main Guide Categories

In Drupal, Columns in a self-help guide are made up of Main Guide Categories, Subcategories, and resource links. For more information on the structure of a self-help guide, see Understand the Structure.

Main Guide Categories divide your self-help guide column into logical subtopics. 

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

Creating a New Main Guide Category

1. Go to the Self-Help Guide Page you wish to edit. By default, you are in the Columns tab.
2. Find the Column you wish to edit.
   • If you have multiple categories already created in the column, select Collapse All to the right of Main Categories to simplify your view.
     
3. Select Add Guide Category.
4. Enter a title in the Category Title field. 
5. Save or Publish the page. 
   • Note: The options you see for saving and/or publishing the column depend on how your site is set up.

Reordering Main Guide Categories in a Column

1. Click and hold the Move icon  next to the Guide Category you wish to reorder.
2. Drag the Guide Category up or down to the place where you want it, then release the Move icon. 
   • Note: It is easier to move the category one place at a time until you get it to the desired spot in the column order.
3. Save or Publish the page.

Deleting a Main Category in a column

If you choose to delete a Main Guide Category, you also delete all Subcategories and links associated with it.

1. Select the three dots to the right of the Main Category you wish to delete and select Remove.
   
2. Save or Publish the page. 
   • Note: The options you see for saving and/or publishing the column will depend on how your site is set up.
