How do you use catalogues vs categories
Hi
I'm currently looking at how we use catalogues and categories to improve search functionality. I'm finding that we have duplicate categories and catalogues, e.g Learning for Managers, safe & legal, systems training - we have these as a category but also a catalogue. Maybe our categories are quite vague?
I'd be interested to know how other people use this functionality.
Thanks

We have found this to be quite a challenge too, mainly because alot of our content is open to all. I'm trying to figure out a more effective way at the moment, but we are opting to use categories quite generically, so ‘Organisation specific’, ‘Safety at work', ‘IT & systems', etc.
Looking at the Academy as an example of effective use, I think it's easier when there are specific topics like ‘learn, perform etc’ because you can filter the content to what you need, but it seems to be alot harder when content is less segmented and mostly available for everyone, unless very specific cases.
We are still trying to see if there is an even more effective way, so would definitely be open to thoughts from others too!

+1 to there being a significant overlap for ours too. I've come to accept that they are just two different ways of filtering content.
