Searching for an Existing Class Category

Use the Classifications page search for a class category to view and update or to confirm that a class category does not already exist before you create a new category. In the Search region of the Classifications page, you can enter several criteria to search the existing class codes. Your initial search should be broad enough to find class categories that may be similar to the one you plan to create.

Note: You can search for class categories. However, to be able to use a class category and assign it to an entity, the class category must be in the compiled state.

To search for a class category:

  1. Navigate to the Classifications page.

  2. Enter search criteria for the class category or the class code in the appropriate fields of the Search region. You can also select Yes or No in the Compiled poplist to filter the results by whether or not the class category or class code is compiled.

    Note: You must enter at least some of the search criteria to search for the class category.

  3. Click the Go button to start your search.

  4. View the results.

  5. If the appropriate class category is not found, click the Create Class Category button to create a class category. See: Creating a Class Category.
