Manage Taxonomy
On a Drupal website, Taxonomy terms are categories with which you can tag and sort content.
Events may have event types such as conference, seminar, or workshop. Your publications may be sorted into publication types such as books and journal articles. Each of these items is a taxonomy term. By default, you site has taxonomies for News, Events, Publications, and People.
Taxonomy terms typically cannot be created when you are adding a new piece of content (like a news item or a publication). You need to create the taxonomy term first, and then you can pick select it when you are adding or editing content.
Taxonomies are often used to sort content onto the correct page (e.g. faculty appear on the faculty page). Be careful with deleting taxonomy terms. If you are unsure, please feel free to ask the web team by submitting a ticket .
