Map values to categories using Field & Filter
Use the 'Field' and 'Filter' fields to filter on the value of a field.
Example: if 'categories' 'is equal to' 't-shirts' then type 'T-shirt' to find the category (internal) 'Clothing & Accessories > Clothing > Shirts & Tops'.
This will assign that category to all items that match this filter.
The dropdown in the 'Set to category' column will also provide suggestions that best match the value, making manual categorization easier.

Save and review categorization coverage
Click Save.
The interface will show the percentage of items allocated to a category, and the number of items with and without a category.
Aim for 100% of your items categorized. If you haven't reached 100%, add separate rules to complete your categorization.
