### Adjustments to Device Categorization Logic

Alan Okada

Device Category is a new out-of-the-box (OOTB) derived property that automatically classifies user traffic by Desktop, Mobile, Tablet, TV/Console, and Other. This unlocks powerful data to help your team optimize product experiences and meet your users on their device of choice.

This Autocapture enhancement is hard-coded into Taxonomy Management Service and requires no additional setup for new or existing users – just deeper insights, right out of the box!

Access this feature via Data > Properties > Derived > Device Category.

Availability: All customers on all plans.
