Channel categories
On this page
You need: connected channels, and the Admin or Manage Channels right to assign categories to them.
A category is a color-coded label for channels, such as one per client, brand or region. Once your channels have categories:
- the composer groups channels by category under Select channels, with Select All and Unselect All buttons for each category;
- you can filter by Channel Category on the Channels page, and by category when filtering scheduled posts and the Social Inbox.
Create a category
- Go to Channels → Categories.
- Click New channel category.
- On Create New Category, enter a Category name (up to 50 characters) and pick a Category Color.
- Click Add category. You'll see "Category added".
Put a channel in a category
- Go to Channels → Channels and click Settings on the channel's card.
- Under Update Channel Category, choose the category in Category.
- Click Update Channel.
A channel can be in one category at a time. Choosing another category moves it.
Select a whole category when posting
In Posts → New post, channels appear under their category's colored name. Click Select All under a category to select all its channels in one click, or Unselect All to clear them. Channels without a category are listed separately.
Edit or delete a category
On Channels → Categories, each category card shows how many channels it has.
- Edit: click Edit Details (or Edit Category in the card's ⋮ menu), change the name or color, and click Update category.
- Delete: open the card's ⋮ menu, click Delete, then Yes. The channels stay connected; they just no longer have a category.
