# ClassifierQuery

Classifies a document according to a specified classifier.

You must set ClassifierName to the name of the classifier that you want to use to classify the document. To classify a document that exists in the Content component index, you can set DocRef to the document reference for the document. To classify a document that does not exist in the index, you can set QueryText to the full IDX or XML document that you want to classify.

Category extracts the classifier feature fields from the document you provide, and uses them to determine the class that best fits the content of the document. The action returns the best class in the `<autn:class>` tag.
