Create and edit Lingo entry categories

Create and edit Lingo entry categories

3 min read
I. Intro
As a Lingo administrator, you can create entry categories in the Lingo Admin Console based on your organization's needs. For example, you could create categories based on departments or business areas. After creating categories, you can manage entries by category.
II. Steps
Create a category
  1. Enter the Lingo Admin Console and go to Manage Entries > Category in the left sidebar.
  1. Click Add a category to create a new category, or Add a subcategory to create a new subcategory.

  1. Enter a name for the category. If your organization is multilingual, you can click Add Languages to provide localized names for the category in different languages (Chinese, English, and Japanese are available).
  • Note: The display language of the category will be consistent with the display language set in the Lingo Admin Console or Lark app. If the category does not have a name that matches the display language set in the console or app, the default language name (the first name edited when creating the category) will be displayed.

  1. Hover over the entry category name and click the Rename icon. Click Add Languages to provide localized names for the category if needed.

Note: The display language of the category is consistent with the display language set in the Lingo Admin Console or Lark app. If the category does not have a language name that is consistent with the language set in the console or app, the name for the default language (the language name first edited when creating the category) will be displayed.
For example, if you add an English name for the category:
  • If the display language set for the Lingo Admin Console is English, you will see the English category name on the Category and All Entries pages, as well as on Lingo cards.

Besides renaming categories, you can also assign or remove reviewers for subcategories. Members will receive a notification from Lingo if you add or remove them as reviewers. To learn more, see Add and delete related approvers for entry categories.

  1. Enter the Lingo Admin Console and go to Manage Entries > Category in the left sidebar.
  1. Hover over the category name and click the Delete icon.
  1. Click Delete in the confirmation window.

III. FAQs
Do I have to create categories?
No.
Is there a limit to how many categories I can create?
Yes. You cannot create more than 100 entry categories.
Are there any character limit restrictions when naming a category? Can I use duplicate names?
Entry categories cannot be more than 20 characters in length. Entry categories at the same level cannot have duplicate names, but entry categories at different levels can.
Can I assign an entry more than one category?
Yes. The same entry can be placed in multiple subcategories, but these subcategories must belong to different categories.
If I delete a category, what happens to the entries assigned to that category? Will they be deleted too?
No. If an entry belongs only to the deleted category, it will become an uncategorized entry. If the entry belongs to multiple categories, it will continue to belong to those that haven't been deleted.
