Overview

Large-scale enterprises contain a collection of video content that needs to be divided into categories for better organization of the content. To solve this problem, VIDIZMO offers its customers to have distinct categories and sub-categories within a portal for content to be maintained and searched easily.


A category can also be divided into subcategories which play a significant role in classifying the content into more granular form. Users can easily search and sort the content in Subcategories. For more details, check out the article. To learn more about it, read Understanding Categories
