Configuring categorization settings for change templates

The values you configure in a change template's Categorization tab are used to add information to the operational and product categorization sections of the Classification tab in the Infrastructure Change Request form.

• Operational categorization is based on a three-tier hierarchy defined in the Operational Catalog Setup form. The Operational Categorization Selection settings add information to the operational categorization fields in the Classification tab of the Change Request form.
• Product categorization is based on a five-tier hierarchy defined in your Product Catalog Setup form. The Product Categorization Selection settings add information to the product categorization fields in the Classification tab of the Change Request form.
