Managing Classification Rules

Documents can be assigned to multiple categories, up to a maximum number defined in the settings. Classification rules are simpler than robot filter rules because they do not involve any flow-control decisions. In classification rules you determine what criteria to use to assign specific categories to a resource as part of its Resource Description. A classification rule is a simple conditional statement, taking the form if condition is true, assign the resource to <a category>.
