# Introduction to Structured Classification

Structured classification allows you to automatically assign documents to structures categories, by using the structured fields in the document rather than the conceptual information. You can use it as an alternative to conceptual categorization (see Categorization), and conceptual classification (see Document Classification).

Structured classification uses ParametricType fields in your documents to classify them into one of a set of structured categories that you define.

To use structured classification, you create several structured categories, by using a set of training documents to define the category. You can then create a structured classifier with a set of structured categories.

After you create the structured classifier, you can query with new documents, and the structured classifier returns weightings for each of the structured categories in that structured classifier for each document.
