Add a Classification
-
In Studio, expand the System Configuration folder.

Expand Lookup Lists, right-click Classifications, point to Add Item, point to Standard Items, then click Classification. A new Classification item appears.

Next to ClassificationID, assign a unique identifier for this classification.
