Collection Categories

Collection Categories are to help account Admins organise the Collections in your HIVO account.

Categories help you group related Collections by topic, keeping your interface organized and easier to navigate — especially when managing a large number of Collections. You can set Collection Categories through Collection Page or Collection Detail Page.

Practical Example – Marketing Projects

If you're managing multiple marketing projects: 👉 Create a main Category called “Brand” → then create sub-categories under it using project names (e.g., “Campaign A”, “Product Launch B”…). This allows you to group Collections related to each project in a clear and structured way.

Available Actions with Categories

Click the circular arrow icon next to a Category to open the action menu. You can:

• 📂 Open Category

• ✏️ Rename Category

• 🔄 Move Category

• 🖼 Edit Thumbnail

• 👥 Edit Collection Permission

Tip: To organize your Collection effectively, use a combination of Main Category and Sub-Category in a clear hierarchy.

Switch to Category View

• To switch to Category view, select the tag icon at the top right of the Collection.

• The category view will group Collections in a hierarchical form by these categories, which can be useful when organizing a large amount of Collections.
