Classifications

Classifications provide the options that a user can select for specific predefined classification types. Classifications is the generic description used for this grouping mechanism.

There are a set number of preconfigured classifications in On Key. Classifications are system-generated and cannot be added or deleted. However, you can customise the default examples in the system to represent how you describe and categorise work in your specific environment. This is done by updating the classification's Description field.

Classifications provide a standard way of classifying work and are used to filter and group information for reports and enquiries. One or more preconfigured classifications can be configured for the following classification types:

Work Order Classifications (1 to 5)

Work order classifications are used to classify a work order when the work order is added or when feedback is captured. Five customisable work order classifications can be defined.

Task Classifications (1 to 8)

Task classifications are used as a grouping mechanism for:

• Grid lists on browse windows and grid edit windows
• Proposed work orders
• Reports
• Analyses.

Task classifications do not determine whether a task appears on proposed work orders, they only affect the way that tasks are grouped on work orders. Eight task classifications are defined.

Task Feedback Classifications (1 to 5)

Task feedback classifications provide a standard way of classifying work order feedback. The allowed values can be used to analyse the tasks that are completed for work orders.

Configuring Classifications

The classifications master data is set up as follows:

1. Customise the preconfigured classification by updating its Description to how you categorise work in your specific environment. The Notes field can also be changed, if applicable.
2. Link allowed values to the classification. There is no limit to how many allowed values a classification can have.
