# Category Manager

## Introduction to Category Manager

The Category Manager is a new feature in Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS designed to manage categories assigned to GeoTags. It provides users with a structured way to classify and organise GeoTags, improving data consistency and enabling more efficient filtering and analysis.

Categories in the Category Manager are divided into two types:

1. **List Type Category** This category type allows users to select a value from a predefined list. It ensures standardisation across projects and simplifies data management.
2. **Free Text Category** For this category type, users manually enter values as free-form text. It offers flexibility when predefined values are not sufficient or applicable.

The Category Manager offers an intuitive interface for creating, editing, and assigning categories to GeoTags, helping users maintain clarity and control over their project metadata.

### Launching Category Manager

To open the Category Manager, use any of the options below:

- **From the navigation panel** Click the **Category Manager** button located under the **GeoTags** tab in the navigation panel. This provides access to the category management interface.

- **From an existing GeoTag** While viewing or editing a GeoTag, navigate to the **Properties** panel and click the **Manager** button in the **Categories** section. In this way, the categories can be managed directly in the context of the selected GeoTag.

Both entry options lead to the same Category Manager interface, where users can create new categories, edit existing ones, and assign them to GeoTags as needed.

### Saving Changes in Category Manager

To successfully save changes in the Category Manager, users should:

- Click **Apply** to save the changes without closing the **Category Manager** dialog. This allows for further editing or adding more categories and values.
- Click **OK** to save the changes and close the Category Manager.

Failing to click either button may result in losing unsaved changes. Users should always confirm their edits before exiting the Category Manager.
