How to see all categories in a list?

Hi,

Of all the categories I have created ( I would like to see all of them in a list ) Is there a page in sharepoint that shows me all the categories that I have created? 

Thanks, 

Bill

Hi Bill,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display all categories you created in a SharePoint list.

There is no OOTB way to display categories in a list.

As a workaround, You could use Categories web part in Content Rollup field to displays categories from the Site Directory. Besides, you could achieve your require by code.

A post about how to displays categories from the Site Directory for your reference:

Thank you for your intended help. I'm not an expert at sharepoint nor know how to do what was given to me. All I want to see is all of the categories I have made. Is that possible from just viewing a page in sharepoint in the settings or something ? 

Thanks again

Hi Billmaster,

You could add a new page in SharePoint site, and insert the Categories web part to the new page to displays categories from the Site Directory.
