Field Description
Number This field displays the number of code files assigned to the rate file. You can assign a maximum of two codes to the rate file.
Prompt Use this field to assign a label that Cobra will use as a prompt for the code field. This prompt will appear as a column header on all the grids where it is used. You must enter a label in this field if you selected Code (optional), Code (required), or Text in the Code Field Type field.
Code Field Type Use this field to select a code field type.

Your options are:

  • <none>: Select this option if you do not want to assign code files to the rate file that you are creating.
  • Code (optional): Select this option to choose a valid code assignment from the code file specified in the Code File column or to leave the code assignments blank. Codes assignments may be left blank. However, when assigning codes, Cobra will validate that the assigned codes exist in the code file.
  • Code (required): Select this option to require that a valid code assignment be selected from the code file specified in the Code File column. When assigning codes, Cobra will validate if the assigned codes exist in the code file. This option only allows you to assign valid codes from a code file and does not allow blank code assignments. Cobra does not validate existing assignments until individual records are selected. Previously blank or invalid assignments will not be updated automatically.
