Category Details

Open any category to see its detail page.

If the category is a sub-category, the title shows its place in the hierarchy, with the parent category before it.

The artwork count shown near the title includes artworks from the category itself and from its sub-categories.

Overview

The Detail tab gives you a quick summary of the category.

It shows:

Name
Description
website status
banner artwork

If the category has artworks, the same tab also shows artwork cards for the works in that category structure.

When artworks belong to a sub-category, Artlope can add a small badge so you can tell where they sit inside the larger category.

Edit info

The Edit info tab lets you update the category itself.

Name is the title of the category.

Description is your note about what the category is for.

In the Website section, you can also manage:

Website visibility
Banner artwork

Website visibility has three options:

Based on website settings uses the global category setting from the Website page.
Never show keeps this category off your website.
Always show keeps this category on your website, even when the global category setting is off.

The global setting only includes categories that contain artworks visible on the website.

Banner artwork lets you choose one artwork from the category to represent it visually on the website.

If website visibility is set to Never show, the banner artwork setting is not used.

Files and notes

Categories can also hold supporting information beyond the artworks themselves.

Attachments let you store files on the category. This can be useful for project notes, checklists, PDFs, or planning documents connected to a body of work.

Category attachments can be up to 10 MB per file.

Comments are private notes for you on the category page.

Extra tools

From the category detail page, you can also:

open a presentation view of the artworks in the category
download a catalog based on the category artworks
download labels based on the category artworks
bulk edit the artworks in the category
delete the category

If you delete a category that has sub-categories, Artlope asks whether those sub-categories should also be deleted or kept.
