Our upcoming 4.1 release, expected to become available in June, will allow publishers to define "categories" in multi-issue apps.
Categories allow you to split your issues into different sections, e.g. to organize your content by subject, or by year, etc.
If the "Categories" option for your account has been activated, the detail menu for an app on the Twixl Distribution Platform will show an additional Issue Categories" option.
You can add the categories you wish, the name that is entered in the category field is the name that will be displayed in the categories menu in the app. You can optionally enter a sort order as well.
Then, select which of the issues in your publication should be included in that category. Depending on how you want to sort your content, you can also decide to create an "All issues" category.
As soon as you have created categories in the Twixl Distribution Platform, these will become available in your app.
Customers that subscribed to the Twixl Distribution Platform Entitlements option will automatically be able to access the new 'categories' option on their Twixl Distribution Platform account.
