Material Definitions Classes

The Classes tab allows you to associate one or more material classes with the selected material definition.

Classes are like property templates that are selectively applied to specific resources. Multiple classes can be applied to a given resource. For example, if a set of properties applies to multiple equipment locations, you can create a class that contains all of these properties and then add that class to each of the applicable equipment locations.

The following table describes classes attributes:

Attribute	Value	Description
Class List	User-defined	Displays a list of classes that have been added to the selected resource.
Add Class	N/A	Click to open the Universal Browser to select the class you want to add to the selected resource.
Delete Selection	N/A	Click to remove the selected class from the resource.
