Data Type Category
What it is.
It is a selectable field, from a previously created database. The resource is created from the administration area. It is necessary to create a category first, which is related to this resource. This can be used, for example, to create a database with the names of the company's personnel, with other data related to them, as well as to have the image of each one.
See what categories and resources are and what they are for
Once we have created the category (in administration / categories) the resources listed within the category can be displayed in two ways:
As a list of categories or as a selection of categories.
Differences between the two types of data:
| List of categories | Category selection | |
| The resources of the category are shown | Yes | Yes |
| Can be placed in the header or footer of the document | Yes | No (only available in sections) |
| The images of the resource are displayed | No | Yes |
| More than one resource can be selected at the same time | No (in sections you will have to create several lines manually) | Yes (will automatically create a line for each selected resource) |
As you can see a data list of categories when filling in the document
As you can see a category selection data when filling in the document
The category selection data must be within a section and be the first data in the sequence.

How can we delete a category
Hi Teresa to delete a category go to category management and access the category in question, once inside delete all resources or assign them to another category that you are not going to delete and once all resources are deleted or moved, you can delete the category. But first confirm that the category is not in use in any model. If you have problems with the process do not hesitate to contact support@itcons.app to discuss the specific case.
