Technician (RBA) - The classification should show full path and classification description

In the Review Work Order screen of the Technician Role Based Application if the work order has a classification, it is displayed just above the buttons.
There are two issues:
- The Classification on its own is not enough it needs to show the Classification Path, so instead of CNTRFGL it should show PUMP \ CNTRFGL. The classification could be used with another noun for example FAN \ CNTRFGL. Just one part of the classification path will not describe the purpose.
- It is the description that you need more than the Classification Path codes, for example Centrifugal Pump. If you only had a numeric classification coding, you would not understand the classification without the description.

My preference would only show the classification description, this is the class hierarchy description. But both would also be OK. Just the codes would make it difficult to interpret at some client sites.
