Classification: Overview

A classification is a hierarchical system of categories and subcategories that organizes all product and assets information.

A classification node functions like a folder within a hierarchy, where product and assets sheets are stored. In this course, remember:

• Node = Folder
• Sub-node = Sub-folder

---

Classification: Navigation

Although classification structures have unique characteristics, they can be compared to folders in your computer's file explorer. Navigate through classifications and sub-classifications to access product and assets sheets.

To access classifications, go to the Data page in the Documents section for product sheets and the Assets section for asset sheets.

📘

Important Note

A classification node cannot contain both product (or assets) and sub-nodes. A classification node contains either products (or assets) sheets or sub-classification nodes.

Consequently, product and asset sheets are always located at the lowest level of the classification hierarchy.

In the left panel, you can expand the classification. Click on a classification node to display its contents.

Use the breadcrumb trail to navigate back to higher-level classification nodes.

📘

Important Note

Navigation within classifications is done manually via the side panel and breadcrumb trail. There is no search engine available on these pages. To search for a classification, use the advanced search covered previously.

Classification: Actions

Once you have reached and selected a classification node:

• Click on the display buttons to change how elements are presented within a classification node, switching between list and thumbnail views, and customizing columns.

• Click on the pencil icon at the top of the right window to edit the name and attributes of the classification node.

• Click on the “+ Add” button to create a new classification node or a new product (or asset) sheet.

• Hover over and click on the pencil icon of a thumbnail to directly access the product or asset sheet.

Summary

• Definition of Classification: A hierarchical system of categories for organizing product and asset sheets. A classification node is equivalent to a folder.
• Navigation: Similar to a file explorer. Access via the Data page, Documents (product sheets), or assets.
• Important Note: A node contains either sheets (product or assets) or sub-nodes, never both.
• Manual Navigation: No direct search within classifications, navigation is done via the breadcrumb trail.
• Available Actions:
  • Modify the display,
  • Rename or add nodes,
  • Create/modify product or assets sheets,
  • Add sub-classification nodes.
