    • Name: Displays the name of the category. You can also modify the name here.
    • Label: Input relevant tags for the category. Tags (usually short keywords or any other words that can identify the template) can be used to retrieve the category. Use semicolons (both Chinese and English) to separate multiple labels.
    • Marker Style: Used to set the marker style of the category. Click the setting button to open the corresponding selector to set the marker style. If the selected category is from a normal layer, setting the marker style is not supported.

If the selected category is from a unique value thematic map layer, the single value expression field in attributes will be automatically filled.
Notes:

If adding a new category to a unique value thematic map layer, when setting attributes, the unique value thematic map field in attributes is mandatory; otherwise, the new category cannot be created.
