|  | # What is Tiering
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Tiering is an important concept of data classification in OpenMetadata. Data Producers and Consumers can set business importance of data by setting Tiers. `Tier 1` is the most important data of an organization. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | In OpenMetadata, Tiers are System Classification tags and can be accessed from **Govern > Classification > Tier**. | ||
|  |

|  | 
 | ||
|  | In case of tiering, it is easiest to start with the most important (Tier 1) and the least important (Tier 5) data. Once the **Tier 1** or most important data is identified, organizations can focus on improving the descriptions and data quality. The Data Insights in OpenMetadata helps identify the unused datasets as **Tier 5**. The Tier 5 datasets can be deleted periodically to declutter. Other tiers can be added as per your organizational needs. **Tags** can be added to further mark the data assets. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | | **Tier** | **Impact** | **Used for** | **Type of Impact** | **Usage** | | ||
|  | |--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ||
|  | | **Tier 1** | High | External & Internal Decisions | Revenue, Regulatory, & Reputational | Highly used | | ||
|  | | **Tier 2** | Moderate | Some External & Mostly Internal Decisions | Some Regulatory | Highly used | | ||
|  | | **Tier 3** | Low | Internal Decisions | - | Highly used (Top N percentile) | | ||
|  | | **Tier 4** | Low | Internal Team Decisions | - | - | | ||
|  | | **Tier 5** | Individual owned | Unused Datasets | - | - | | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## How to Add Tiers
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | From the **Explore** page, select a data asset and click on the edit icon for **Tier**. Select the appropriate tier. Clicking on the arrow next to the tier will provide a description of the tier. | ||
