projects/{projectId}/classification-systems/{systemId}/classifications:import

Updates a classification system.

A classification system categorizes and organizes construction information in a hierarchical structure, and is used to label items in a takeoff project.

For more information about the classification system, see the ACC Configure Takeoff Settings help documentation.

Note that this endpoint updates a classification system with a new name and/or classifications configured as a JSON object in the payload, created from a spreadsheet file.

Note that a classification system must first be created, before it can be updated. To create a classification system, call POST classification-systems.

Note that this action overwrites the name and/or all classifications that currently exist in the classification system you are updating.

Note that classifications cannot be updated once the classification system is in use. To check if a classification system is in use, call GET packages and use the package IDs (results[i].id) to call GET takeoff-types. Iterate through the takeoff types and check if classificationCodeOne and classificationCodeTwo have a value for both primaryQuantityDefinition and secondaryQuantityDefinition.
