Record domain codes

Domain codes are data categories that contain one or more reference data values. The reference data values are the items that workers can select in drop-down lists and multi-select boxes. For example, if "State" is a domain code, the names of the states are the reference data values.

A domain code can also include other domain codes as sub codes. For example, "County" and "Region" can be domain codes under the "State" domain code.

All domain codes and reference data for using the system is included for normal work. System changes may occur that require new or modified domain codes. After a domain code is stored in the system, it cannot be deleted. The reference data values can be changed, as well as the domain code's name and description.
