Construction Base classifies contacts by branch/industry using the Industry Groups tree, and keeps a contact's industry-group assignment synchronized across multiple companies using the Contact Branch Companies setup.
Note
The related, free-form attribute framework for tagging contacts with your own characteristics is documented separately in Contact Attributes.
Industry Groups
The Industry Groups (tree) page shows the Industry Groups (branches) as a hierarchical tree, based on their Parent Code.

Recalculate
Rebuilds the tree's sort and indentation order after industry groups have been added, removed or re-parented.
Multi-Company Synchronization
The Contact Branch Companies list defines which companies participate in keeping a contact's industry-group assignments synchronized. When Contact Industry Group data is mirrored between companies, adding, changing or removing an assignment in one company is automatically applied to every company listed here, so a shared vendor or customer keeps the same industry classification everywhere.
Note
This list is part of the system setup and is normally maintained by an administrator rather than by everyday users.
Note
Construction Base also extends the standard Business Central Contact and Industry Group tables and pages for this purpose; this is documented separately in Contact & CRM Extensions.
