Categories

Each business classification system has codes for the various categories. A categories scheme allows you to group registry entries by a given category. For example, large businesses that conduct a variety of business may be sorted by several classifications. A company might sell computer hardware and software. Such a business might be listed with several classifications, such as computer training, data processing services, and software publishers, and so on. Each business classification also has a corresponding key.
