Business Classification is used to organize the business attribution of the model in a tree-like hierarchy, and associate each classification with the corresponding data domain, person in charge, and status, providing a unified entrance for subsequent logical model selection of business classifications.

Simple understanding: First classify the business according to the parent-child level, and then specify for the model which type of business it belongs to and which data range it corresponds to.

Usage suggestions

Before adding, confirm that the relevant data fields have been maintained, and then determine whether the current record should be placed under the "top-level node" or a parent category; after saving, review the ownership by expanding the hierarchy and details.

Main features

Tree Classification: Display business hierarchy with parent classification and subordinate classification.
Conditional query: According to business classification name, superior business classification and responsible person positioning record.
Category Maintenance: Add top-level categories or lower-level categories, and maintain English abbreviations, associated data fields, responsible persons and status.
Association Check: View the basic classification information and associated data fields in the details.
