Manage the Classification Matrix

The Eagle Classification Matrix is essentially a rule that stores a set of criteria that must be met to classify a security into a resultant code. This code would then be used to either populate security information or to group data by that new security information. The Matrix is used when data is not available by vendor or other feed to the warehouse.
