MPact Server Installation and Setup 2 - 11
2.5 Category Configuration
Use the Categories functions to group product family items logically and better apply significance to the locationing, customer
traffic and dwell time data reported by the system. MPact events are tied to categories and category fields. When beacons are
skillfully deployed, they are associated with the physical location of a specific product category within a floor plan. As client
users move about the floor, their beacon visits and dwell times can be associated with the product categories associated with
the beacon’s location.
To administrate categories:
1. Select Categories under the Configuration main menu item.
Figure 2-11 MPact Server - Categories
Existing categories display along the left-hand side of the screen.
2. From the Category List, select a category to display its Category Values (product names) administratively aligned with
that category’s beacon location on a site’s floor plan.
Figure 2-12 MPact Server - Categories
In the example above, the Category, Beauty, located on the left-hand side of the screen, is aligned with the Category
Values listed on the right-hand side of the screen: Deodorant, Shampoo and Soap. In this example, Category Values
represent the products grouped for tracking under the parent category, Beauty.
