This operation can, upon approval, invoke a rule set on the object to create or maintain the reference, or move the object to a different hierarchy. The selected objects are automatically classified according to a set of rules.
For example, upon import, executing this business action can automatically classify object in a website hierarchy or a classification hierarchy, based on a standard taxonomy like ETIM or UNSPSC. Additionally, when executing this business action, objects can be classified or reparented based on an attribute value.
For more information about automatic classification, refer to the Using Automatic Classification with Business Actions topic in the Automatic Classification documentation here.
