Classifications and Types are used to categorize equipment or building systems into higher level (Classification) and lower level (Type) groupings. Classifications are required in order to create a PM schedule. Classifications and Types can be added manually or you can import one of the predefined schemas that Dude Solutions provides. If you do choose to import a schema, you will still have the ability to add to, edit, and delete the imported entries. Examples: Classification=HVAC, Type=Air Handling Unit; Classification=Lawn Equipment, Type=Lawn Mower; etc.
