Classifications
There are three levels of classification available: Department, Category, and Subcategory.
Department is typically considered the most general level of segmentation, in a clothing store category can be Mens, Womens, Youth, Infant, Accessories, etc. Category and Subcategories are the next levels. Reports can be filtered by one or a combination of these classifications.
