Standard Rule Tab: Use Code

The following list describes the fields and buttons on the Standard Rule tab (with the Use Code standard rule selected):

Field or Button

Description

Code list

Lists all the code lists. If the necessary code list is not listed, click Edit to load or create a code list.

Edit

Accesses the Edit Code List dialog box, which enables you to create and edit code lists.

Raise compliance error

For compliance reasons, the field must contain one of the code list entries from the specified code list (nothing else is valid for that field).

For example, if a field is defined as containing only YES or NO, you can create an exclusive code list that contains only YES and NO. Then if you receive a MAYBE in that field, the translator flags it as an error.

Code description

Description of the code list entry (that is used) to appear when the selection is made.

For example, if the code list entry is SU, it is much more useful to view the description of the code list entry (Supplier's Address). If you selected field XX from the store description list, the description for the code list entry used is mapped to field XX.
