Adding a Taxonomy Using the Control UI
To add a taxonomy using the CentraSite Control UI, proceed as follows:
To add a taxonomy
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Taxonomies.
2. In the Taxonomies page, click Add Taxonomy.
This opens the Create New Taxonomy dialog in which you can enter the required information for the taxonomy.
3. Enter the appropriate information for each of the displayed data fields.
In this field...
Specify...
Name
A name for the taxonomy.
Be aware that this is the name that users will see when they search for assets using the Browse catalog page. The name should be meaningful (for example, Software AG ASIA-PAC, not SAG-AP).
Note:  
A taxonomy name does not need to be unique within CentraSite. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple taxonomies the same name.
Description
Optional. A descriptive comment for the taxonomy.
Documentation
Optional. Specify a file that contains additional external documentation for this taxonomy. You can use the Browse button for this field to locate the file.
Taxonomy is browsable
Optional. Whether you want the taxonomy to be visible to users for filtering and classification purposes in CentraSite Control. For more information about this property, see Visibility of Taxonomies in CentraSite.
Icon
Optional. The location of a bitmap file that contains an icon that will be displayed in the user interface to identify this new taxonomy. The bitmap format must be either JPG, GIF or PNG; it must be 16x16 pixels, to match the size of the existing taxonomies.
4. Specify the object types that are allowed to use the taxonomy for association purposes. You do this by selecting the tab Applicable to Object Types and marking the check boxes of the required object types. For more information about associating object types to a taxonomy, see Associating Taxonomy to an Object Type.
5. To enable other users to view, modify and/or delete a taxonomy that you have created, you must modify the taxonomy's permission settings. You do this by selecting the tab Permissions and making the appropriate entries there. For more information about allowing other users to access a taxonomy, see Setting Permissions on a Taxonomy.
6. Click Save to add the new taxonomy to CentraSite.
