The Classification Tab

The custom Classification tab is available for files and items. The Schema drop-down contains list of available schemas.

The grid displays a list of properties associated to the schema:

Mandatory properties are displayed using bold font.
Properties where corresponding Vault property is missing are displayed in gray color.
If value of mandatory property is not provided then similar error will be displayed during update.
The columns are sortable.
It's possible to set filtering based on the values in selected column.
The Schema drop-down and Update buttons are disable if current object can't be edited.

Classify Objects

The steps to use the object classification utility are as follows:

Locate file in the file list.
Go to Classification tab.
Set property values.
Click Update to save changes.

Note By using the "Remove" button it is possible to remove classification properties from a document. This will remove all properties associated to currently assigned class as long as they are not associated to the current object by means of the Category of Vault. However the "Class" attribute will be deleted from the object to successfully detach the class. When you want to reassign a class later on the property "Class" will be reassigned again automatically.
