# Assigning Categorization Values Manually

You can manually include one or more virtual or physical infrastructure objects to groups in static categories — categories created with multiple-condition method and imported manually from a .CSV file. When you map an object to a group, Veeam ONE Monitor adds the **Manual selection** condition to the group configuration. The name of an object acts as condition value. Mapped objects have static group membership, that is, they remain in the group until you [manually reset categorization values](#reset).

## Assigning Group Values

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.
2. In the inventory pane, navigate to the **Business View** node.
3. In the **Business View** tree, select the necessary object type — Virtual Machines, Hosts, Datastores, Clusters or Computers.
4. Switch to the tab with the name of the object: *Virtual Machines*, *Hosts*, *Datastores*, *Clusters, Computers*.
5. Select objects that you want to add to a group.

   To find the necessary objects, you can use the scope drop-down list and search field at the top of the objects list.

6. In the **Actions** pane, click **Manual Categorization**.

   Alternatively, right-click the category and select **Manual categorization** from the shortcut menu.

7. In the **Edit Categories** window, select a category and groups to which you want to add objects.
8. The **Categories** section lists static categories to which you can add objects. To display all categories for the selected object type, select the **Show Dynamic Categories** check box.
9. Click **OK** to save the settings.

If you reset manual categorization for an object that has been manually added to a group included in a plan, this object will be removed from the plan as soon as the plan will acquire the *DISABLED* mode.
