Allowed Values

A range of allowed values are created for a specific classification. For example, "Safety Related" and "Non Safety Related" are possible allowed values for the classification Safety Related. There is no limit to how many allowed values a classification can have.

Specifying allowed values for a classification ensures that the accuracy of the data and the speed of the data entry is maximised when using a PDA for data collection.

The following information is captured when allowed values are linked to classifications:

• Code: A unique code that identifies the allowed value for the classification.
• Description: A description for the Code.
• Sequence Number: The sequence in which the records are listed.
• Is Active: Indicates whether the allowed value is active and available in a lookup list.
