Code Table Descriptions

Use Code Tables to set up the items for users to choose in the drop-down list in some fields in the Info Center.

This allows users to enter a standard, pre-defined value in many fields in the Info Center. Many of these values can also be used to search for specific types or groups of records when you use lookups.

Before you enter code table values, review the code table descriptions. Each description includes a brief explanation of the code table and information about possible values. When you set up your code tables, some tables require that you enter both a code and a description. Other tables require that you enter only a description. Use codes to enter short alphanumeric identifiers. Use descriptions to enter more detailed information. In most cases, users see only the code table descriptions.

Some code tables have values that are defined by the system, which you cannot delete.

If you use multiple languages with Vision, the standard code tables display in the selected language. If you insert your own codes, you must translate the code and manually enter it in the Code Table Maintenance form. If you do not translate the custom code, Vision displays Text Not Translated as the description for this code.
