Getting categories to display like demo screen was created by Kathy Ahrendt
Hello,
I'm new to Edocman and have gone through the documentation a couple of times but I still can't find the correct combination to make the initial screen display from a menu item look like your demo site. I'm testing/learning the product on a J2.5 site and will eventually be using it on a J3 site in case there is any difference in setup.

I like the display of the categories with the Header and number of documents. Is this coming from a module or from selections in the menu item?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kathy Ahrendt

Hi

It is from a menu item. Just create a menu item to link to Categories view of EDocman and It will work well.

Hi Tuan,
I looked at my menu items list when setting up the menu and I don't see a Categories View. I've attached an image of what I see. v1.6.3
Could some configuration in Edocman I've set up change the available items list?
Kathy

I think I have figured out what I was doing wrong. Once I selected Category List and added text to the category description, the image showed.
So much to learn! Thanks for your help.

Hi Kathy
Sorry, I didn't use correct words. You can use "Categories List" view of EDocman (see "Categories List" option under edocman in the image you posted)

And it will work well

Hi Tanya,
Of course, when you setup menu to layout: Category layout, you will able to select one Category.
Thanks
