# Assign Data Model Object Categories for Data 360 Compatibility

Categorize data model objects (DMOs) during writeback to make sure they work seamlessly with downstream Data 360 features. Data Processing Engine (DPE) previously assigned the Other category to all DMOs it created. Now, select the category that matches the object's purpose, such as Profile for customer details or Engagement for interactions. Accurate categorizing is essential for Data 360 functionalities, such as identity resolution and segmentation.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience in Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions where Data Processing Engine is available.
