Service Classification
Feature overview
Functional positioning
Service Classification is the upstream basic page of API management. It is used to organize data service categories by parent-child hierarchy and display category name, description, status, sorting and creation information. API configurers can later use these categories to locate or select the category to which the API belongs in [API Management].
Simple understanding: First organize the API into a classification tree according to business themes, and then you can quickly locate it by category when searching and configuring the API.
Usage suggestions
After entering the page, wait for the category list to be loaded, and then check the parent-child hierarchy based on the expansion arrow and indentation relationship. When preparing to maintain a classification, you can first check the parent category, classification name, status, sorting, description and remarks before deciding whether to continue the operation.
Main features
- Inventory Information Check: Open the "Modify Data Service Category" pop-up window to view the field echo, and click [OK] to return to the list when leaving the fields unchanged.
- Maintenance portal display: View query, status switch, row-level [Add] [Delete], batch [Delete] and [Expand] and other portals.
- API Category Support: Provides service classification results for [API Management] to facilitate organization and selection of APIs by category.
Scope
[Service Classification] is used to view the hierarchical structure and current basic information of data service categories. This page only explains the list display, adding pop-up window cancellation, inventory category echo and return to list behaviors confirmed on the current page. Query results, new saves, field updates, subcategory additions, deletions, batch deletions, status switching, and automatic linkage results to existing APIs are beyond the scope of this page. The current page is demonstrated using the super administrator account, and other role permissions are not defined accordingly.

Page overview
After entering [Service Category] and waiting for the data to be loaded, the page displays the "Data Service Category" and "Superior Category" query area, [Query] [Reset], [Add], Batch [Delete] and [Expand] entrances above the list, as well as the service classification level list.

When the page is switched, "No records yet" may be displayed briefly, and then the category list is loaded; this is a loading transition and does not mean that the business is stable and empty.
