Categories: Folders, Collections, and Tags
You can use Categories in Corjl to sort and organize your fonts, images, designs, and listings effectively. Categories help you group your assets in a way that makes them easy to locate when needed.
💡Pro Tips for Using Categories
- Images, Fonts, Designs, and Listings will all have their own unique Categories.
- Categories can be enabled or disabled. Top RH corner drop down > Category Management
Categories can be used to quickly and easily update or add groups of images or fonts to your designs.
When you add a Category to a design in the Design Assets area, anytime you update or add new items to that category, it will automatically be added/updated in any design that is assigned that same category
🔢 Types of Categories
There are three main types of organizational Categories available: Folders, Collections, and Tags. Each offers a unique method for managing your assets, and you can opt to use all three, just two, or even one, depending on your needs. Here’s a breakdown of each type:
Folders
The Folders option allows you to group assets together into traditional folders:
- You can create parent folders and child folders (subfolders) within them.
- The folder structure is shown as a folder “tree” under the Folders menu, where you can view folders and their subfolders.
Each item can only exist in one folder—it cannot be assigned to multiple folders.
Example: If you have a pink watercolor flower image, you can assign the flower image to a Flower folder, or you can assign it to a Watercolor folder – it can not be assigned to both. However, you could create a Watercolor child folder within the Flower folder and sort the flower there.
Collections
Collections work in a way very similar to Folders with one main difference:
- You can create parent collections and child collections (subcollections) within them.
- The folder structure is shown as a “tree” under the Collections menu, where you can view collections and their subcollections.
Unlike Folders, assets can be assigned to multiple collections.
Example: The pink watercolor flower from the previous example can be sorted into a Pink collection, Flowers collection, and also a Watercolor collection (or a Watercolor subcollection underneath the main Flowers collection). The pink flower image will be found when browsing items in any of these collections.
Tags
The tagging system allows you to use names or “tags” to group assets:
- This system is less “visual” as it does not provide a hierarchical organization – meaning that assets are not nested into subcategories.
Each asset can be assigned multiple tags.
Example: The pink watercolor flower image could be tagged with the names “pink,” “watercolor,” and “flower” as well as “watercolorflower” depending on the grouping options that work best for you. The image would then be found when searching for any of these tags.
🛑 Category Asset Limits
Each organizational container (Collections, Folders, and Tags) can hold up to 500 assets.
Additionally, you can create up to 500 of each container type:
- Up to 500 Collections
- Up to 500 Folders
- Up to 500 Tags
This gives you extensive flexibility in organizing your assets while maintaining system performance.
