3. Item Classes: Defined
Item classes are a way of grouping together item types in order to further simplify and expedite searches in the PRT database.
Item Classes:
- Group item types together to create a larger subset in the database.
- Are independent of region, group or service.
Example
The item types in the previous example are grouped into four major classes, creating an organized and logical hierarchy of information.
The following chart demonstrates how you can create item classes based on defined item types.
