# Classification

**Classification** is the group name to which a Configuration Item (CI) belongs. The Classification identifies the CI device type. You can add and modify Classification details for CIs under a Tenant. There are 4 System-Defined Classifications, which are available in the Application by default: **Server**, **Network**, **Desktop**, and **Others**. The users can also create Classifications based on the organization's requirements. A User-Defined Classification CI works exactly the same way as a System-Defined Classification CI. Sub-Classifications can be added to both System-Defined and User-Defined Classifications.

To Configure Classification, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to **CMDB** > **Import** > **Configuration** > **Classification**.
2. On the **Classification** page, select the **Tenant**. A list of all the configured Classifications for the selected Tenant is displayed under the **Details** section.
