About this task
A Fix script is shipped with the feature that automatically runs when you upgrade. Link your desired categories to the topics manually, for new installations, for new taxonomy created, or for new categories required on the existing taxonomies.
- The script goes through all the connected content on the topics and identifies the categories for the connected content.
- The fix script works for all the active taxonomies.
- The Catalog and knowledge Categories tab displays the identified categories to be linked to the topics, after the fix script is successfully executed.
- Linking a category to a topic bulk-connects all its connected content to the topic.
A weekly scheduled job runs to recognize new content added or removed from the category that can be associated to the topics.
For more information on the execution and modification of the scheduled job, see
