If you have a long list of work that you want to use in a classification rule, you can create a group. You can create groups for all qualifier types except for Priority and zEnterprise Service Class.
For example, you may want to create a transaction name group to use in classification rules for your started tasks. Figure 1 shows a Create a Group panel. You can use wildcard and masking notation in qualifier groups. For work qualifiers that run longer than 8 characters, you can use a start position to indicate how far to index into the string. Note that there is also room next to each classification group for a description.
