Hi,

It seems that only 5 lower level categories (Related categories) can be surfaced within my Power Pages Employee Self-Service Portal knowledge base. Can this be changed to have more?

Many thanks,

Cathy

RE: Why do only 5 lower level categories show in my Knowledge base Portal

Hi Cathy,

We can set any number of categories to be displayed in the Power Pages Employee Self-Service Portal.

Firstly, open Portal Management, select Web Templates under Content.

Secondly, choose web template named "Category - Related Categories", change value in {% assign limit = limit | default: 10 %}

If you want to set more than 5 related categories in the portal, you can set value more than 5 in the code.

Hope it will help you~

Best Regards,

Thanks for your replies, I have checked the environment is the same. I am able to create and add more than 5 sub-categories, it is just that only 5 maximum will show within the portal. Maybe this is as designed though, to encourage creating limited number of sub-categories, then to divide further to lower level sub-categories under each, rather than a long list?

Hi Cathy,

Please confirm that the Customer Service Admin Center and the Portal are in the same environment.

It should be right to see the list of categories when we click "Manage" for categories.

You can select a category which you need to add a child category in the list of categories. For example:

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I don't see any option for this setting. In the Customer Service Admin Centre I click on Manage for Categories, but no options are retuned only the list of categories...

I have these permissions assigned to me...

RE: Why do only 5 lower level categories show in my Knowledge base Portal

The number of lower level categories that can be surfaced within the Power Pages Employee Self-Service Portal knowledge base may depend on the specific settings and configuration of your platform. However, it may be possible to change this limit to display more than 5 lower level categories.

Here are some steps you can take to try and adjust this setting:

1. Access the category settings: Log in to the Employee Self-Service Portal as an administrator and navigate to the category settings section.

2. Locate the category display options: Look for options related to the display of categories, such as "category layout" or "category view".

3. Check for a limit setting: See if there is a setting that limits the number of subcategories displayed per parent category. If you find this setting, try adjusting the limit to a higher number, such as 10 or 15.

4. Save the changes: Once you have made the changes, save the category settings.

5. Check the result: Navigate to a page that displays the lower level categories and check if the new limit is being applied.

If you are unable to find a setting that allows you to adjust the number of lower level categories displayed, you may need to consult the documentation or support resources for your specific platform to see if there is a way to modify this behavior.
