   • Write a name for the document type
   • Leave the ‘Parent Category’ drop down with the default text of ‘None’.
   • Click ‘Add New Document Type’
   •  This new document type will now be an option in the Parent Category drop down menu.
   • If you want to add a subcategory
     • Write a name for the document type
     • Select the Parent Category by clicking on the ‘Parent Category’ drop down menu.
     • Click ‘Add New Document Type’
     • Subcategories are indented
   • Click ‘Add New Document Type’
   • 

Use the document list widget to display documents as a list on a web page. The document list widget allows to list documents by document type.

1. Navigate to an existing page or create a new page
   • Note: You should know you are on a page when the admin bar on top states ‘Edit page’
2. Click ‘Edit page’
3. Enable page builder by clicking on the ‘Pagebuilder’ tab , if there is no option to click on the tab, the pagebuilder layout is enabled.
   • Note: In order to use the document list widget, pagebuilder has to be enabled
   • 
4. Click on the ‘Add widget’ icon tab
   • 
5. Add page title by selecting the ‘Page title’ widget
   • Note: You can scroll through the widgets or type in the widget name on the search bar.

6. Click on the ‘Add widget’ icon tab
7. Add the ‘Documents list’ widget
   • 
8. Hover over the document list widget and click edit
   • Add widget title
     • This can be ‘Documents’ if it is a department document page, since the page title widget will display the title as [Department] documents.  For example, The Administration department will have the page title ‘Administration documents’ therefore naming the list ‘Administration documents’ is redundant.
   • Pick the category(ies) to display
     • If the parent category is selected, it will also display all its corresponding  sub categories
   • Select display style
     • Documents are commonly  displayed in the ‘List View’ style but you can always go back and change the style that best matches your ProudCity site.
   • Insert a number of post to show in the ‘Number of post to show’ field
     • Enter 0 for all documents to show  under the selected category type  or select specific amount to list.
   • Pick ‘Sort By’
   • Select sort order, either ‘Ascending’ or ‘Descending’
