# GeoTag Categorisation

To improve data organisation within the point cloud, Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS allows assigning multiple categories to a single GeoTag.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Categories should be created in advance using the [Category Manager](/v1/docs/cyclone-register-360-category-manager) before they can be assigned to GeoTags.

The assignment, editing, and removal of categories from a GeoTag is managed directly within the **Categories** section of the **Properties** panel.

The header of the **Categories** section includes a counter that displays the number of categories currently assigned to the GeoTag. This helps users quickly assess how much metadata is linked to a specific tag.

## Assigning Category to GeoTag

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Categories that have already been assigned to the GeoTag will not appear in the selection dialog when adding additional categories. This prevents duplicate assignments and ensures clarity.

## Assigning Value to List Type Category

To assign a value to the list type category, select the desired category value from the drop-down list. You might notice that previously defined colours appear on the list now.
