class

A discrete category to which an object belongs. Each symbol, such as formula, can have a collection of classes. An object may belong to only one. Classes are configured in the Enumerated Lists form, usually as C_SymbolCLASS, such as C_FORMULACLASS. Users assign an object to a class in the object form.

Class represents a type of Optiva object or symbol, such as formula, item, specification or parameter. Used as part of the import process that declares what type of object is being imported. Users create objects under a specific class or symbol type, such as a pizza sauce formula called PIZZA_ SAUCE\ 0001. PIZZA_ SAUCE\ 0001 is an object of class type "formula".
