Each Refined Site has its own structure. The structure is built using Categories and Jira projects. Each category and Jira project have their own landing page that can be modified.
Categories are added to sites with two purposes:
A landing page for the category where you can put content from different sources.
A structure that ease navigation on the site.
Categories are added to a specific site, and can be dragged-and-dropped between sites.
Refined sites work a bit differently, based on the applications you work with in Jira: Jira Service Management, Jira Core, and Jira Software.
Adding a Category
Open the Site Builder and click the click the + in the top right corner of a site block.
Category settings
Name and url
Set the name and the url path.
The name is what will be visible in the top navigation of the Site, the URL path is what will be at the ending of the URL for that category.
Set the permissions
Permissions are the view permissions for this category.
Inherit - the same permissions as for the parent site or the parent category will be applied
Anonymous users - when the site is anonymously accessible, this category will be shown to anonymous users
Logged in users
Groups - manually set what Jira User Groups will be able to see this category.
Theme
When parent theme is used, the same theme set on the site or category where this category is will be used.
The Theme can be set on a category level. Any item placed in the category will have this theme unless specifically set on that item.
Add items to the category (optional)
The category can be used as a landing page - the category home, and it can hold other items:
