Enable Multiple Classification Types

You can enable multiple organization types and industries classification types for account assignment. While you can specify multiple industries for each account, the application only uses only the primary industry for assignment. Use this procedure to enable assignment on all of the industries.

For example, Oracle Corp. is primarily a software supplier, but also manufactures hardware. After you complete the setup, you can assign the account using both industry categories.

Assignments are run on an account based on classifications and includes these tasks.

  • Using multiple organization types for account assignment.

  • Using multiple industries classification for account assignment.

  • Running assignment manager on an account.

Note: Before you start these procedures, you must ensure that the Organization Types and Industries fields are shown on the Profile tab of the Accounts page.
