Class Hierarchy Basics
The Hierarchy in Class works with Funds Level at the top of the hierarchy so this takes precedence over all other levels including Brands, Business and Community level.
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Community Level |
Community Level includes information that is pushed out to all Class users. It might include Auto Transaction Rules for interest and bank fees on some banks as well as prices, asset allocation and income events for listed securities. "The Community Level is essentially information pushed out to all Class users" |
| Business Level |
The Business Level includes anything that is specific to your practice. It might include business settings which will apply to all your entities or contacts like a Tax Agent that you set as a default for all your entities. "The Business Level is essentially your Business/Firm" |
| Brands |
Brands allow you to separate certain things like settings, within a business. Every business on Class has at least one brand many don't set up more than the one default. It might be used by a large national firm with different offices that wants to restrict access to a group of funds and have different default contact and settings for their group of entities. "The Brands are there to assist in separating Tax Accountants/Firm Locations (not often used in smaller firms)" |
| Fund Level |
Fund level includes anything specific to the fund or entity. It might be used to override a setting as the default parcel match method chosen at the business level or to update a contact or create an unlisted security that is not widely held. "The Fund level is your Client this will be the SMSF, Trust or Portfolio entity" |
