What Are Cancellation Listing Categories?

Cancellation listing categories help you organize your listings, making it easier to monitor and manage them by category. They work similarly to blog categories and are especially useful as your station grows. Consider how your audience would like to access this information and organize your categories accordingly. Default categories are provided to help you get started, and you can edit them at any time.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to:
   Website > Cancellation Listings > Cancellation Listing Categories
2. Fill out the following information:
   1. Name: Enter the name of the category.
   2. Slug: The slug is the URL-friendly version of the name. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens. A slug is automatically created, but you can edit it if you wish.
   3. Parent Category (Optional): Assign a parent term to create a hierarchy. For example, "Jazz" could be the parent of "Bebop" and "Big Band." This step is optional.
   4. Description: Enter the purpose of the category. It is recommended to write a sentence describing the category for SEO purposes. The description is not prominent by default, but some themes may display it.
3. Click "Add New Cancellation Listing Category" to save your changes.

That's it! Your cancellation listing categories are now set up and ready to help you organize your station's information more effectively.
