Importing Classifications

It is possible to import a customised list of Classification Keywords and colour codes into the library system.

These classifications will then display on the resources in their class range.

It is also possible to add classifications individually and set the colours manually.

The import can be completed from either the Classifications table or the Class Colour Code table.

Log into the library system and load Management then select 'Database' from the menu bar at the top of the page, followed by 'Lookup Maintenance' and 'classifications' from the list.

Select 'Tools' on the menu bar at the top of the page and select 'Import...' from the list.

Select one of the Classifications types and press 'Import'. Click 'Yes' on the confirmation box and the classifications will be imported.

Repeat these steps for the 'Class Colour Code' table.
