Categorizing view panes:

Taxonomy is used to categorize content so it is visible in desired locations. If you would like to categorize your view pane by using taxonomy:

1. Ensure the content type has a category.

2. Note down the term number that the category is associated with. The term number is located in the url on your screen (ex. https://.../term/109/...).

3. Add the term number to the Category space, when configuring your view pane.

4. Select Finish.

Always save the page when you are done customizing.
