Categories help you organize your courses and keep your portal structured. In TalentLMS, you can assign courses to categories in three ways:

• From a course’s settings (Course options)
• Through import
• Through mass actions

With import and mass actions, you can update multiple courses at once. Let’s look at each option below.

A. Add a course to a category from the course’s settings

To assign a category to a single course:

1. Log in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator or Instructor, and click Courses (1).

2. Open the course you want to update, and click Course options (2).

3. In the Info tab, use the Category (3) field to select the target category from the dropdown menu.

4. Click Save (4).

The course will now be assigned to the selected category.

B. Add courses to categories through Import

You can also assign categories to courses via bulk import. To do this, prepare your import file with at least the following two columns:

• Course
• Category

When you import the file, TalentLMS will match each course with the category listed in the corresponding row. If a course is already in another category, it will be updated to the new one. For detailed instructions on importing course data, see the relevant import article.

C. Add multiple courses to a category through Mass actions

To assign the same category to multiple courses at once:

1. Log in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator, and click Courses (1).

2. Select the courses you want to update, and click Mass actions (2).

3. Choose Add to category (3).

4. Select the category (4) you want to assign from the dropdown.

5. Click Apply (5).

The selected courses will now be added to the category you specified. For detailed instructions on using mass actions in courses, see this article.
