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. 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. Folders provide a hierarchical organization in that you can have parent folders and child folders that exist within that parent folder. These grouping options are then displayed visually by using a folder “tree” where you can see each folder and its subfolders under the Folders menu. Items sorted into folders can only “live” or be assigned to one folder.
For 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: they also provide a hierarchical organization with collections and nested subcollections that are displayed visually under the Collections menu area. However, Collections differ in one major way in that, unlike Folders, assets can be assigned to, or be found in, multiple collections.
For example, our 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 or all of these collections.
Tags
The tagging system allows you to use names or “tags” to group assets. Each asset can be assigned multiple tags. This system is less “visual” as it does not provide a hierarchical organization – meaning that assets are not nested into subcategories. Each tag is a stand-alone identifier.
For example, going back to our pink watercolor flower image, it 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 the tags given above.
