Classifications are used to categorise individual roles within their employer's business. Classifications are used in conjunction with Positions.
A student's 'position' or role with an employer, can be recorded in the Client Manager, and these positions can be further broken down to include an extra classification. As an example, these might include a department name or a pay grade.
Classifications can be assigned to multiple positions, at multiple levels. For example you may have positions of 'Manager' and 'Team Leader', and these can be further classified, so that you would end up with:
- Manager (Support),
- Manager (Development),
- Team Leader (Support), and
- Team Leader (Development).
Open the Configuration Manager by choosing Manage > Configuration from the menu. The Configuration Manager displays an alphabetically ordered explorer tree.
