Adding a New Code
Right click in the Codes grid to bring up a new Add Code dialog. Within the Code dialog are Code, Custom, and Meta tabs.
- Code refers to the specific item in the drop down menu.
- Code Short refers to the acronym chosen for the code.
- Group refers to the drop down menu category that it belongs to.
- The Sequence number refers to the order this code will appear in the drop down menu.
- The "Is Active" checkbox allows you to show or hide a code.
- The Locations codes can have a Sub Location. This option allows you to add a custom sub location code. To do this, create a new Code record for the Locations Code Group, and choose the option for "Location Types" under the Group drop-down menu. Now save the record and it will become an option for Sub Location.
Custom Tab

Meta Tab
This is a READ-ONLY information tab used as a reference to view which user created the record and which user was the last to edit it, including the dates and times these occurred.
