This tool generates an ordered list of classifications which can be assigned to the partitions of a template. This list is saved to a classification file, which is an XML format file. A classification file can be used to describe the associations for, or assessed condition of, a partition. For example, a shoal can be classified as being of low risk, moderate risk or severe risk. A sample file for shoal classifications can be found at:
C:\ProgramData\CARIS\<application>\<version>\SampleData\
shoal_classifications.xml
Classifications can be defined in several ways:
• new classifications can be added
• for any existing classification, the name, description, and severity can be changed
• an existing classification can be removed
