Defining a classifier field

A classifier field contains the name of a classifier configuration and a classifier input field.

Before you begin

Define a classifier configuration. For more information, see Defining a classifier configuration.

About this task

A classifier field is a field whose Data Type is set to Classifier. Like other fields in OpenPages®, you must add them to views and profiles. For more information, see Fields and field groups.

You can use FastMap to import and export classifier fields and the values for suggestions in associated classifier target fields. This is typically done during a migration process. Do not change the classifier field or the values for suggestions after you export and before you reimport.

Procedure

  1. Follow the instructions in Defining fields and adding them to field groups.
  2. Click New to create a new field.
    1. In Data Type, select Classifier.
    2. In Classifier Configuration Name, enter the name of the classifier configuration that you created in Defining a classifier configuration.
    3. In Classifier Input Field, enter the field that contains text to be interpreted by a service, for example, System Fields.Description. Format is <Field Group>.<Field Name>.
  3. Save the field.
