Step-by-step guide to creating a new category in the Web App and Totems, including subcategories, page linking, and activation.

In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a new category in our Web App and Totems. Adding new categories allows you to expand and customize information about your hotel to address all the specific questions your guests may have.

However, if you prefer to follow step-by-step written instructions, let’s get started!

Instructions

1. Log in to the Back Office

Begin by logging in to the back office using your user credentials.

2. Navigate to the Categories Section

In the admin panel, locate and select the “Categories” tab from the left-side menu.

3. Click on “Create Category”

Inside the category management section, find the button or link labeled “Create Category” and click on it to begin the creation process.

4. Fill in the New Category Details

Enter the required details for the new category. You will also need to upload a header image and a button for the category. The recommended image dimensions are indicated within the same tab.

5. Select the New Category and Click on “Create Subcategory”

Fill in the titles in different languages and define how many columns you want the pages within this category to be displayed in (one, two, or three columns).

Once you have created the category and subcategory, the next step is to link the pages you want to publish within this category. To do this, select the new category, the subcategory, and then click on the “Link to Page” button.

You have two options:

  • Add a single page
  • Add a group of pages

If you want to add a single page, click on the “Assign Page” field and select the corresponding page from the dropdown menu.

If you want to add a group of pages, select multiple pages from the dropdown, define the group title, set the button, and save.

For example, if you want to group pages with instructions for different room appliances under one category called “User Instructions,” you would select the pages for the coffee maker, safe, air conditioning, etc., and assign them a single title.

If you do not want to group the pages, simply select one, save it, and proceed to link the remaining pages individually.

7. Activate the Category

Finally, after creating the category, you must activate it.

  1. Go to the Home tab.
  2. Select the Machine and choose the first button (Settings).
  3. Under the different options, go to the Categories tab and activate the new category to make it visible on the devices.

And that’s it!
