Categories

While location types are used for styling locations on the map, categories are intended for filtering and enhancing search experiences. You can also assign locations to multiple categories if needed.

Subcategories

Subcategories add an extra layer to your categories, allowing you to create even more advanced filtering and search options for your end users, making the search experience easier and more efficient.

An example of using subcategories to add an extra filtering layer for "Restrooms," making it even easier for users to find their exactly what they are looking for

You can set up "subcategories" in the CMS, under a category:

• When you assign a category as a child or subcategory, you cannot use it as a parent.

• You cannot delete a parent category without first removing its children.

The Web SDK supports reading subcategory values using childKeys

Mobile SDKs are not supported yet.
