Material Classification
The material classification is used for grouping/classifying as well as searching of materials. It is provided by the FACTON Benchmark Content.
Each material classification has its own semantic Key (key).
In FACTON, specific properties of the material classification can be maintained in the master data or at local materials, e.g. carbon content. The internal name (internal name) is shown in the table right beneath the property.
You can also view the semantic Key (key) of the material classifications in the FACTON client. (see Finding key in FACTON)

Identify Semantic Keys in FACTON
You can identify the semantic keys to use them for Excel imports by running queries in FACTON. The place where to use the semantic key in the Excel template is shown in the column XXX.Key.
Identify Semantic Keys
- You are logged in as a Master Data Administrator.
- You are in the Master Data workspace.
- In the Explorer ► Queries, click on the ► in front of SC Solution Data.
- Click on Semantic Keys for Selection Lists.
A new tab »Query: Semantic Keys for Selection Lists« opens where you can determine specific query parameters.
- Define your query parameters.
- Click the
