Expand Small Groups organization with custom taxonomies

Click the pencil icon to edit a taxonomy. If needed, click the bin icon to delete it
3. You can edit the Display Name and Website Page URL, however, you can not edit the Type and System Name for the created taxonomies
Display Name in Singular - this is how this taxonomy will be displayed in the Settings - Taxonomies tab and in Small Groups Post when assigning a category/tag of the taxonomy.

Website Page URL - allows you to edit the URL for the taxonomy
