User's guide
Categorise spaces add-on is based on Confluence labels (space categories).
At the top-left of every page, you can view all spaces by categories.
To do that you need just two steps:
Step 1: Use Labels to Categorise Spaces
A space category is a label that you can apply to a space for the purpose of grouping your spaces in the the space directory, and in the recent activity area of the dashboard.
For example, if you have a space for each of your projects, you can add the category ‘project’ to each of those spaces. If you’ve got lots of related spaces, you can use labels to group them together into categories.
Add as many space categories as you think you need; it’s just like adding labels to a page or blog post.
You need space administrator permissions to manage space categories.
Categorise a space
- Go to the space and choose Space tools > Overview from the bottom of the sidebar
- Choose Edit next to Space Categories
- Under Space Categories, enter your category name and choose Add
Alternatively, choose a category in the list of ‘Suggested Space Categories - Choose Done
Step 2: Add and Configure Category
Add Category and Sub category

If caching is enabled, you need to refresh cache when spaces categories are changed.
