Classification System

Classifications are used to label objects and outputs so that they are more easily found both by browsing the user interface and by advanced searches.

Objects can inherit the classifications of their container objects. Therefore, if you set up Domains and Application Areas in the same logical pattern you need for classification, you can effectively assign classifications to all the objects within a Domain or Application Area simply by assigning the classifications to the Domain or Application Area.

For example, if a Domain supports all of Project A and its Application Areas each support one study within Project A, you can assign an appropriate classification to each Application Area, such as Project A/Study 01 or Project A/Study 02. Then all Reports and other outputs produced from within each Application Area are automatically labeled as Project A/Study 01 or Project A/Study 02, and users can search for them in that context.
