Visual Studio - Run Automated TestMethods with a specific TestCategory value

In Visual Studio web app, I'm adding a task after the deployment has successfully built the environment to run smoke tests. The smoke tests have a TestCategory of 'SmokeTest'.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have the task only run TestMethods that have the TestCategory of "SmokeTest". I've read that what I need to do is put something in the 'Override test run parameters' field, but I'm not sure exactly what.

Additional Information:
-Using Visual Studio 2017 Community
-Using Selenium framework w/ C#
