What is Classification?

Classification is the group name to which a Configuration Item (CI) belongs. The Classification identifies the CI device type. You can add and modify Classification details for CIs under a Tenant. There are 4 System-Defined Classifications, which are available in the Application by default: Server, Network, Desktop, and Others. The users can also create Classifications based on the organization's requirements. A User-Defined Classification CI works exactly the same way as a System-Defined Classification CI. Sub-Classifications can be added to both System-Defined and User-Defined Classifications.

To Configure Classification:

  1. Select CMDB > Configuration > Classification.

  2. On the CLASSIFICATION page, select the Tenant. A list of all the configured Classifications for the selected Tenant is displayed under the DETAILS section.

    • Create Root Node: Click this option to create a Root Node/Classification. A User-Defined Classification is created.
