CM Tooltip Guide: Using Term Categories
The CM Glossary Tooltip Pro+ and eCommerce editions support the use of term categories, which can provide a solution for the following use cases:
– To support dividing the glossary into sections
– To support several glossaries on the same site (in combination with using shortcodes)
How to create and display your term categories?
The first step in creating the term categories is by going to the CM Tooltip admin menu and selecting the option “categories”, as shown bellow:

To do so you need to use the following shortcode:
Show glossary category index – {glossary cat=”cat name”}
