Working with classifications
You can create classifications, and specify details about
the attributes of classifications. You can search classification structures
and attributes that have associated values when you use any record
type that can be classified. You can also define associations between
actual configuration item (CI) classifications and authorized CI classifications.
Creating classifications
You classify information to categorize it logically, so that the information is easier to find. You can classify different types of records, such as location records, asset records, item records, and work order records.
Associating attributes with records
You can specify detailed information about the attributes of a classification. You can enter attribute details about each record that you want to use with a classification.
Modifying classifications
You can change classifications by modifying the information for the classification. You can also modify a classification by adding a classification to an existing classification to create a hierarchy for the main classification.
Searching for classifications from application records
You can search classification structures and attributes with associated values when you use any record type that can be classified. Record types include assets, items, locations, configuration items, work orders, and tickets.
Defining associations between actual and authorized configuration item classifications
You can define associations between actual configuration item (CI) classifications and authorized CI classifications. When you map associations, you create an authorized CI record from an actual CI record.
Adding units of measure
You can specify or change the units of measure that you use when ordering and issuing items. Any units of measure that you add become available in the product for use with all items.
Configuring the signature option to enable classification images
Signature options, which are defined in the Security Groups application, are used control access to functions in applications. By using signature options, you can grant access to specific groups of users. In the Classifications application, you can select images that represent asset classifications that are used.
