4.? Right click on the? destination field and choose properties
5.? Click Standard Rule tab
6.? Select Use Code from drop down
7.? If a warning message is received click Yes.? (Warning message:? "Are you sure you want to change the standard rule for this field?")
8.? If the Code List already exist select the code list to use from drop down (refers to source value to be cross referenced)
9.? If the Code List does not exist or the source value is not present in the currently selected Code List? click the? Edit button
10.? Click the? New button
11.? Enter? the source value? in the? 'Value' field
12.? Enter the description (output value)
13.? Click OK
