Powertech Code Types Maintenance
Codes can be maintained under a code type after a code type has been created. Codes can be added changed and deleted within the system based on need. An example of codes is a list of valid Departments under the Code Type DEPARTMENT. Each company using Database Monitor will likely create their own list of departments and perhaps even groups within departments depending on how they will use Database Monitor.
