This section allows you to add and manage categories with up to 3 tiers – super category, category and sub-category. Images you add from Images section will display in your online designer studio as per the categorization you set here. You can choose to assign category to retail customers, corporate customers or both. Under Parent Category column, you can identify category levels as follows:
Super Category – Category – Sub Categories
You can toggle category status as Green (Active) or Red (Inactive). However, if you mark a parent category Red (Inactive) then all its sub-categories will automatically turn Red (Inactive).

Add Category
Admin > Designer Studio > Image Categories > Add Category (Top Right Link)
When you add an image category, it will fall under primary level (Category) by default. You can choose to whom this category will be displayed – retail or corporate customers or both. When you select only corporate, you can further tick for which corporate customers and their departments this image category should be made visible.
You can assign image category to ‘Admin only’. If you keep the status ‘Admin Only’ for particular image category, then the images in that category will be displayed to Admin only and won’t be available to use for the storefront users.
If you have multiple languages enabled, you need to manually enter the translated image category name.
