Display Categories

Display categories are a powerful way to organize resources and services within your QReserve site.




Simple Categories


Categories can be used for a simple folder structure by giving each resource in a particular category the same value. You can edit the display category from a resource's Profile > General tab or using the Display Category field in multi-edit or in the resources table.


Nested Categories

Categories are sorted alphabetically be default but you can define a custom sort order for top level categories by pre-pending a capital letter and a ) in front of the name. The sorting letter will not be shown when displaying the category in the application but that letter will be used to determine the sort order.





Categories can be nested up to 4 levels deep by separating each level with a / surrounded by one space on each side. For example, the category shown in the image above would be written as follows, where a  is used to represent a space.

Cameras/SLRs/Sony
