You can allow editors and other users to categorize pages on the Form tab of the **Pages** application. This makes it possible for users to categorize pages when creating them. Users can also categorize existing pages without having to access the **Properties** tab.

To allow users to categorize pages on the **Form** tab, add a new field to the page type for which you want to allow categorizing on the **Form** tab.

1. Open the **Page types** application.
2. **Edit** () the page type for which you want to allow categorizing on the **Form** tab.
3. Switch to the **Fields** tab.
4. (Optional) Click (**...**) and create a **New category** for the new page tagging field.
5. Click **New field**.
6. Fill in the properties of the new field as follows:
   1. **Field type**: Standard field
   2. **Field name**: PageCategories (for example)
   3. **Data type**: Text
   4. **Size**: 100
   5. **Field caption**: Category (for example)
   6. **Field description**: any description that you want users to see when hovering over the field caption
   7. **Form control**: Multiple categories selector

7. **Save** the field.

Now, whenever users edit pages of this type on the **Form** tab or create new pages of this type, they can tag the pages as well.
