Taxonomy
Creating Taxonomy Categories
The RCCL uses taxonomy terms to create categories for content types such as Articles, Events, and Person. If your website requires any of these content types, it's a good practice to create taxonomy terms before building pages.
Taxonomy terms are required for article and event entries and are also used to display associated content inside various page components. Additionally, some Drupal views use taxonomy categories for filtering content.
