Proper class setup ensures structured data and accurate system outputs. --- #### πŸ“ Navigate to: **Settings \> Business \> Manage Classes**![](https://support.kitchencut.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-10-26%20at%2009-31-55-png.png) --- #### 🧾 What Are Product Classes? Product Classes allow you to group and manage products based on your internal organisational structure (e.g., *Dry Goods*, *Beverages*, *Produce*). These groupings are useful across purchasing, inventory, and analysis tools in Kitchen CUT. --- ### 🌐 Understanding the Global Class The **Global Class** is a **failsafe category** that captures any data that hasn’t been specifically mapped to a class.![](https://support.kitchencut.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-10-26%20at%2010-04-38-png.png) - You can **assign any class** to act as the Global Class. - Only **one Global Class** can be active at a time. - This is a required system setting β€” all data must belong to a class. > πŸ› οΈ If a product or record isn’t mapped to a class, it will automatically fall into the assigned Global Class to preserve data integrity. --- ### βž• Add a New Class 1. Go to **Manage Classes**. 2. Click **Add New Class**. 3. Enter a class name. 4. Select **Set as Global Class** if you want this to act as your fallback category. 5. Click **Save**. --- ### ✏️ Edit or Reassign a Class 1. Locate your class from the list. 2. Click **Actions \> Edit**. 3. Make the desired changes or select/deselect **Global**. 4. Click **Save**. > βœ… Any changes will apply across the system. --- ### 🧠 FAQs **Q: Why do I need a Global Class?** A: It ensures that all uncategorised or imported items still have a class assigned, avoiding data issues. **Q: Can I change the Global Class later?** A: Yes. You can reassign another class as the Global Class at any time. **Q: What happens if I delete a class currently acting as the Global Class?** A: You must assign a different class as the Global Class first before deletion. --- #### πŸ“© Need Help?
