classification. The key to setting up a project with sample documents is to select the
appropriate samples and design an appropriate classification scheme.

Additionally, the ability of a project to learn by example makes it much easier to
maintain. The primary maintenance task becomes one of adding additional sample
documents or removing unsatisfactory ones.

Adding Classes

Before any documents can be classified, it is necessary to set up a class hierarchy that
defines all of the classification categories. New classes can be inserted under the
Project node, either by using the context menu for the node or selecting
Project | Add Class from the main menu bar.

A new class can be created as a base class or as a child class for the currently selected
class. If you want to insert a base class, you must make sure that the Project node is
selected. If you want to insert a child class, you have to select the desired parent class
before adding the new class.

X

To insert a new base class

1

Right-click the Project item in the class hierarchy to display the context menu
for the project.

Note

You must create a new project or load an existing project before you

can add classes.

2

From the context menu, select Add Class to add a new class to the hierarchy.
A default class name is added in edit mode, allowing you to easily rename the
class.

3

Change the class name to something meaningful and press Enter. The new
base class is placed in the class hierarchy in alphabetical order.
