Class List Panel
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Class List Panel is available for Ontologies. It displays a simple list of all classes (instances of ``owl:Class``), for example to apply operations from the :ref:`BatchActionsMenu`.

It is also suitable for scenarios where there are many classes in your ontology but you don't want to find each class in the hierarchy.

**Toolbar Features**

* **New** creates a new class, as subclass of the root class of the :ref:`ClassHierarchyPanel`,
  using the :ref:`CreateClassDialog`.

* **Free text** searches for classes based on a substring from any of its property values.

* **Available batch actions** opens the :ref:`BatchActionsMenu` for the selected classes.

**Settings**

* **Return local results only** will limit the list to those classes that have been defined in the current asset collection,
  i.e. are not from included graphs. This depends on ``rdf:type`` statements for the classes.

* **Also show rdfs:Classes** will not only show owl:Classes but also rdfs:Classes, including various system classes.

* **Display IDs instead of labels** switches between human-friendly labels and machine-friendly qnames.
