Classes

Classes are a way to identify your items and instances, and categorize them further by using Attributes.

You can create three types of classes:

• Object – a class which is used for object instances.
• Tag – used to classify items as a whole.
• Relationship – a class that allows you to link instances together by further classifying their correlation.

You can create and manage classes and attributes by going to the Classes section of the Setup tab. You can find this under FineTune in the left panel.
