In the Codes workspace, you can add, edit, and delete code values, code translations, code maps, and exchange code to map information.

Codes and Code Values are used extensively in Eagle's Data Management solution to assist with the presentation and translation of data. They allow the information in the database to be translated to more descriptive information for inclusion in reports.

Code Values are one way to store client specific information within Eagle. A translation requires setting up a Codes Values list for each source (the incoming source and the Eagle PACE source) and then mapping these Codes together. Codes are source independent; Codes Values are source dependent. You can set up several Code Value lists against one Code; but each Code Value list is associated with a difference source.

Define the Code

  1. Enter a name for the code in the Code Name box.
    You can enter a maximum of 15 characters as Code Name.

  2. Enter a description about the code in the Code Description box.

  4. Under the Code Value Short Description Length section, select the option to specify the code length.
    –  Use the maximum database will allow. Select this option to use the maximum database space for length.

  5. In Track Historical data section, select Yes or No to indicate whether to track historical data or not.
    You can maintain an historical view of Code Values (the underpinning of classification functionality) so that when a group, such as the FTSE Global Classification Committee, announces changes to the structure of a classification, the system can handle reporting on the present values and the historical values of the codes in a FTSE Global Classification.

  6. Click Next.
    You see the Code Values tab.
