A class is a logical grouping of objects within a universe. In general, the name of a class reflects a business concept that conveys the category or type of objects. For example, in a universe pertaining to human resources, one class might be Employees.

 

A class can be further divided into subclasses. In the human resources universe, a subclass of the Employees class could be Personal Information.

 

As designer, you are free to define hierarchies of classes and subclasses in a model that best reflects the business concepts of your organization.

Classes are folders that serve to organize data objects according to common business need. A class can contain any type of object, including another class, (i.e. subclass). The number of classes and subclasses are determined by how the data is organized within the universe. The goal is to make the objects easy to locate when creating a Business Objects XI report.
