Set Up Code Tables

Use the Code Table Maintenance form to add new code table entries, edit descriptions, re-order entries, and delete entries at any time. You can add an unlimited number of entries to any code table.

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.

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Configuration > General > Code Tables.
  2. On the Code Table Maintenance form, select the name of the code table that you want to edit.
