Defining system codes

Define system codes to tailor the system to the entity. You can also edit existing user codes.

Note: Infor strongly recommends creating new classes, rather than system codes, to subdivide Type entities when possible.

To define system codes:

  1. Select Administration > Setup > System Codes.
  2. Select the type of setup for which to define system codes.
  3. Enter the For Entity for which to define system codes. The entity description is automatically populated.
  4. Click Add User Code.
  5. Specify this information:
    User Code
    Specify a new user code to represent one of the system codes.
    System Code
    Specify the system code representing the user code.
    Description
    Specify a description of the user code.
    Icon
    Select the color of the icon to indicate the importance of the user code.
    Note: This functionality is currently only available for the PWRS (Risk) and JBPR (WO Priority) entities on the screen.
    Icon Path
    Specify the URL path to the image you would like to use for the icon. Accepted icon paths begin with http://, //, or \\, or https://.
    Note: The recommended size of the image is 16 x 16 pixels and file type extension should be .gif, .jpg, or .png.
    System Default
    Select one of the user codes as the system code if there are multiple user codes for one system code. The system uses this code as the default value for the Type or Status entity.
    Out of Service
    Select to designate system codes as out of service.
  6. Click Submit.
