Manage Developer Portal categories

APIM 3.0 Developer Portal organizes Services by categories. A Service can belong to multiple categories or no category. By default, the APIM 3.0 Developer Portal catalog page provides links to Services by category or All Services.

Important: Changes made to the categories in any Service version propagate to the Developer Portal. We recommend choosing a classification method for Services and assigning one person to create the categories and avoid inconsistent naming and confusion. For example, alphabetized descriptive categories improve scannability.

Add or remove a category

To manage APIM 3.0 Developer Portal categories:

  1. Open any Service version. The Service can have any status.
  2. Select the Documentation tab.
  3. Click the edit icon next to Service categories. The Edit categories panel opens:
    Edit categories

  4. Click Add category and enter a name.
  5. After adding one or more category, click Submit.

You can't re-order the categories after entering them. You can change the order by renaming them. To cancel your current changes, click Reset.
