Categories are shared across learning paths, events, and learning journeys. You can assign categories in learning paths, events, and learning journeys and use them to filter content. This guide shows how to access the categories area, create, translate, edit, and delete categories, and understand the table and language options.

Accessing the categories area
Open Learning management in the main navigation.
Click Categories.
Understanding the categories table
The table lists all categories available in your organization, including categories created by your team and categories provided by external content partners.
Note: Categories created by your organization can be assigned to learning paths, events, and learning journeys. The categories list reflects usage across all three entity types.
Table columns
Name: The category name.
Provider: The source of the category (your organization or an external provider).
Languages: Each category can be maintained in all curation languages configured for your organization. A green checkmark appears when the name exists in all curation languages; otherwise, you see the language codes of the languages that were set for the category.
Usage: The total number of learning paths, events, and learning journeys the category is assigned to.
Created by: The user who created the category.
Updated on: The last update date.
Note: Categories from external content providers appear in your list for transparency but are read-only. If an external provider renames or deletes a category, learning paths using it reflect the change automatically. For full control, prefer categories created by your organization.
Search and language selection
Search categories: Use the search bar above the table to filter by the Name attribute.
Language dropdown: Switch the curation language in the dropdown at the top right of the table. The Name column updates to show category names in the selected language when available; otherwise, a fallback language is used.
Tip: Manage your curation languages in your organization settings to control which localized category names you can maintain.
Creating a category
Click + Category.
Enter the category name for your curation languages in the dialog. Only the primary curation language is required; others are optional.
Click Create.
Editing a category
You can edit categories created by your organization.
Click the category row you want to edit.
Update the names in the available curation languages. Category badges can show learners the name translations you maintain in their current interface language.
Click Update.
Deleting a category
Hover over a category row and click the trash icon.
Confirm by clicking Delete in the modal.
Important: Deleting a category removes it from all learning paths and events where it was assigned. Learning paths and events remain available, but they will no longer be classified by that category, and the corresponding filter disappears for learners.
Assigning categories to learning paths, events, and learning journeys
You can assign categories to a learning path, event, or learning journey in the editable Details card on the General tab of the respective entity. The categories area is for central creation, translation, and maintenance; it does not assign categories to specific learning paths, events, or learning journeys.
