There are two types of classifications in Orchidea. There are system-wide, as well as channel-specific.
The classification that only considers a channel, is a practical tool for providing information about the idea. That kind of classification could be, for example: Does the registrar of the idea himself want to participate in the implementation of the idea.
The system-wide classification, called classification tree, helps you find ideas, as it allows you to search for that classification on all channels where classification is enabled.
The classification tree allows you to make categories to the system, such as product structure, organizational structure, or process, and then you can search for ideas that apply to a particular category of classification from all the channels you want.
