Create hierarchical category structures to organize and manage your industrial data points. Filter, search, and control access with powerful category-based organization for facilities with thousands of tags.
Organization Features
Powerful Tag Organization System
Hierarchical Structure
Create multi-level category trees with parent-child relationships. Organize tags logically by system, location, or function.
Lightning-Fast Filtering
Filter thousands of tags instantly by category. Find exactly what you need in milliseconds, even with massive tag lists.
Bulk Operations
Perform operations on all tags in a category at once. Export, configure, or analyze entire groups efficiently.
Category-Based Access
Control user access at the category level. Give teams access only to relevant tags for better security.
Smart Search
Search tags by category, name, or properties. Combine filters for precise results across your entire tag database.
Category Reports
Generate reports by category. Analyze energy consumption, production metrics, or any data grouped by category.
Category Examples

Best Practices
Category Organization Tips
Keep It Simple
Avoid overly complex hierarchies. 3-4 levels deep is usually optimal for most facilities.
Use Consistent Naming
Establish naming conventions and stick to them. Consistency makes navigation intuitive.
Think About Users
Organize categories based on how your team works, not just technical logic.
Plan for Growth
Design your structure to accommodate future expansion without major reorganization.
Document Structure
Maintain documentation of your category structure and the logic behind it.
Review Regularly
Periodically review and clean up unused categories. Keep your structure lean and relevant.
