• Key Concepts: 
  Classification is a feature of the BC-ESI Enterprise Service Infrastructure (ESI) that allows users to assign labels to objects in order to organize and categorize them. This helps users quickly find and access the objects they need. Classification also allows users to create custom categories and assign objects to them. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use classification, users must first create a classification system. This system consists of categories, subcategories, and attributes. Once the system is created, users can assign labels to objects in order to categorize them. The labels can be used to search for objects or filter results. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a classification system, it is important to consider how the system will be used. Think about what categories and attributes are necessary for the system and how they should be organized. It is also important to consider how the labels will be assigned and how they will be used for searching and filtering.
