Use cases

IND provides a controlled vocabulary of industry categories that can be assigned to CLIENT (via the ind objectLookup) and COM (via the industry objectLookup) records. This enables filtering, reporting, and segmentation by industry across the CRM. The entity is deliberately simple with just a name and comments field, as industry names are typically standardised and do not require complex structures.
