Understanding content types, dynamic tag categories, and dynamic tags


The first step in developing a dynamic taxonomy is to create dynamic tag categories and dynamic tags. The following illustration is an example of a cookbook taxonomy with three dynamic tag categories: Meat, Poultry, and Vegetables. Within each dynamic tag category there are four dynamic tags.

The second step is to associate the dynamic tag categories with content types. Referring to the following illustration, the dynamic tag categories Meat and Poultry apply only to the content type Dinner, and the dynamic tag category Vegetables applies to both Lunch and Dinner.

In this scenario, editors can select from all three dynamic tag categories when creating dinners, but from only one dynamic tag category when creating lunches.
