Add categories to your 360° scenes to filter and only show specific images according to the set categories or the selected time frame.

Working with categories and filters you have different steps and options to do so:

  1. Create a category template for company use (Dashboard use only)

  2. Create categories on a project level - see below

  3. Apply categories in the Web Editor

  4. Add categories to all TimeTravel scenes within the same location

  5. Apply categories in the JobWalk app

  6. Filter your project in the Web Editor

  7. Filter your sheet view in the JobWalk app

Managing the Categories

Categories can be easily created and managed in the Project Properties in the Web Editor.

Please note that in the JobWalk app it is currently only possible to categorize your scenes but not to create new categories. You can only categorize scenes in projects that have already categories created for this project beforehand.

Labeling 360 scene with categories

Creating new Categories

  1. Click on the project’s name at the top of the editor to open the Project Properties.

  2. In the right-hand side panel, switch to the tab ‘Categories’.

  3. Write a category name in the text field below ‘Add new category’.

  4. Click on 'Add' to create this new category.

    Repeat this process until you have created all necessary labels.

  5. Once you have finished setting up the categories, click 'Apply Changes' to save your project and make the categories available for everyone to use.

All created labels will appear in the category list above. In the list, you will see the name of the category as well as the total number of matched 360° images (‘Total Photos’) in this category.

  4. Double click with your cursor on the current category name to select the name and start typing.

  5. The label will be overwritten.

  6. Confirm the changes with the checkmark or decline by clicking the 'X' in the ‘Actions’ column.

The name of the category will be changed for all scenes that are already tagged with this label.
