Classifications

Classifications are used to give data and documents more detail. The classification tool automatically groups and labels items. It classifies them based on set rules, statistical analysis or a blend of both.

  • A well-organised repository can reduce the time you spend looking at the wrong thing.

  • Classify documents to help you stay compliant. For example, contracts can be classified to ensure they are handled correctly.

  • Classified documents can trigger actions or approvals. For example, invoices are sent straight to the finance team for processing.

Source specific priorities

If you want a source to prioritise showing classes from one classification you can set a priority in the source config. This setting takes priority over the order of the classifications.

Classifications must be configured before you can change this setting.

  1. Go to Configurations.

  2. Find the Source you are looking for.

  3. Select edit and go to the General tab.

  4. Priority Classification Configuration: Choose a classification to show over any other from the dropdown.

    • This ensures if an item in this source has a class from that classification it will be shown in the result.
