Creating a category for layer styles

I'm trying to create a category for layer styles, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I want to create a layer that will contain point features for water monitoring sites. My client has asked me to color-code the sites according to region, so I need three categories.

Is there a way to classify features within a layer and apply a different style to each category of features?

If you are using the Types style in Map Viewer you can group these values together by category and color code them/style them to maintain a uniform appearance per category.

Here are a couple blogs covering this feature
