# Classification terms in CRM

Local use of schema:DefinedTerm in the CRM.

[Shared definition and source fields](/systems/core/classification-term).

Pick shared terms for company industry, legal form and organizational structure. Maintain Industry on the organization in Core. A catalog term names a category; it is not the company, team or department itself.

## Local usage

| Field | Storage | Current configuration |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Tags | Linked records | [Tags](/systems/crm/entity-tags); Multiple-record picker |

Tags was added on 2026-10-22 by the Universal Tags rollout. It is an optional local classification from the shared catalog; it does not grant access, create tasks, change status or enroll a campaign, and it never writes back to the source.

## Maintenance

Correct shared facts at their owning source and local links in CRM. A table name or field description alone does not verify sync direction, field mapping, refresh interval or API write support. Campaign has a separately verified contract; do not generalize it to the other mirrors.
