# Update 029 - February, 2022

### **Selecting a Property Industry on the Create Page**

All users creating new iGUIDEs must ﬁrst select a Property Industry. This is necessary for the iGUIDE Portal to apply settings that are better suited to each industry, so long as [custom iGUIDE](https://manage.youriguide.com/settings/iguide-defaults) [Default Settings have not already been saved at the account level](https://manage.youriguide.com/settings/iguide-defaults). This choice is not critical, since all the settings listed below can still be changed on the Create Page before you decide to upload your Stitch data. If you ﬁnd yourself unsure about what to choose, use the information below to determine what industry your iGUIDE belongs to (see Figure 1).
