Categories group related guides together. They appear as collapsible sections in both the admin panel and the attendee app. Clear category names help attendees find information quickly.
How to Create a Category
Method 1 — From the Add a Category button:
- Go to Dashboard > Content > Event Guide.
- Click Add New to open the Add Event Guide modal.
- Next to the Category dropdown, click Add a Category.
- A dedicated modal opens with a Category Name field.
- Enter a short, descriptive name.
- Click Save — the category is created and auto-selected in the dropdown.
Method 2 — Inline while creating a guide:
- In the Add Event Guide modal, type a new name directly into the Category dropdown field.
- The new category is created automatically when you save the guide.
How to Reorder Categories
- Go to Dashboard > Content > Event Guide.
- Click and hold the drag handle (=) on a category row.
- Drag it to the desired position.
- Release — the new order saves automatically.
The order in the admin panel is exactly how categories appear to attendees in the app.
Multi-Language Support for Categories
Category names support multi-language input. Use the language selector to enter translations in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, or Dutch.
