Managing action codes
Action codes can be managed through the Action codes item in the configuration
menu. This will then provide the user with the list of existing action codes, as well as the
abilities to update, create or delete an action code. Action codes, like all other
configuration items, will need to go through the approval process before any changes are
applied to the system. Action codes can be sorted and filtered in the list when
necessary.
To view the configuration for an action code in the
system, you would select it from the list. You would then be presented with the
Action code info screen.
