Copy Down Code Assignments to Child Codes

Use the Copy Down Codes dialog box to copy the code assignments attached to a parent code to its child codes.

To copy down code assignments to child codes:

1. Display the Code view for the code file that you want to update.
2. In the Code view, right-click a parent code and select Copy Down Codes on the shortcut menu.
   The Copy Down Codes dialog box displays all available code fields for the selected code. These fields are shown in the Prompt column.
3. Select the checkboxes for the code fields that you want to copy to the child codes.
   If you want to copy codes only to those child codes that do not have code assignments, select the Only replace blank code assignments on child codes option. If you do not select this option, Cobra overwrites all existing code assignments for the child codes.
4. Click OK.
   Cobra assigns the codes associated with the code fields that you selected to the child codes.
5. Click on the Quick Access toolbar to save the new code assignments.
   When you produce a report using a code on a parent code, all of the child codes must contain the same code as the parent.
