  The BC-DWB-UTL-CLS Classification Toolset allows users to create and manage characteristics. To do this, users must first define the characteristics they want to use. This includes specifying the type of data that will be stored in each characteristic, such as text, numbers, or dates. Once the characteristics have been defined, users can then assign values to them for each object in the database.
