Before you can start using taxonomies throughout Fotoware On-premises, you need to choose which metadata fields should have taxonomies assigned to them. This topic explains how to enable taxonomies for specific metadata fields.
Assigning taxonomies to metadata fields
- From the Tools menu (cogwheel icon), select Site Configuration.
- Go to Metadata > Metadata Setup. Here, you can view all metadata fields created in the system and configure various options for each field.
- To enable a taxonomy for a field, select the Taxonomy checkbox for the relevant field.

- In the Plural Name field, enter the plural name for the field - this is used in headers in the user interface and in the URLs for the taxonomy item. For example, if you enable a taxonomy for the Category field, you can enter Categories in the Plural Name field to display Categories, for example, as a header above the taxonomy when using this for archive navigation.
- Select Save.
What's next?
Now you need to enable taxonomy navigation on the archives where you'd like to use this functionality.
