Classifications (SP) ApplicationClassifications (SP) ApplicationYou use the Classifications (SP) application to create classifications and establish an overall classification hierarchy. Classifications can help you to retrieve historical data from other applications.
Classifications let you store information about many objects, such as locations, assets, items, sales orders, and work orders. You can classify and then search for things that you have classified.
Classification can be used when the system searches for matches between customer agreements and their price schedules, service level agreements and response plans. Matches can then be applied to the appropriate records.
There are two types of classifications, global classifications and customer-specific classifications. Global classifications are available to all users. Customer-specific classifications can be restricted from view depending on the security profile of the user. Your system administrator determines whether to make this restriction. If your system administrator makes this restriction, the security authorization determines whether a user sees all classifications or the set of classifications that have been associated with the customers that the user has been associated directly with or indirectly with through their security group.
Classification structures are like directory structures. You build a classification structure the same way that you build a directory structure: from the top down in parent-child relationships. First, you create a parent (a classification), and then you add its children (each child is also a classification), which belong to the parent. Each child then can become a parent and have its own children. This pattern can continue indefinitely. The structure from the top-level parent to the child that you are working with is the classification path.
At the top level, you can have one classification, or you can have multiple classifications.
