Use the Create Class Codes page to create the appropriate class codes for class categories. When you create the class codes you specify the name of each class code, a meaning, a description, the date when the code becomes active, and an optional date when the code is not active. You can immediately enable a class code or enable it at a later time.

To create a class code:

1. Click the Apply and Create Class Codes button in the Create Class Category page, after you have created a class category. See: Creating a Class Category.

2. Enter the characteristics of the class code in the Class Codes region of the Create Class Codes page:

   • Name

   • Meaning

   • Description

   • Start date active

   • End date active

3. Check the Enabled check box to make the class code effective, or leave the check box clear until you are ready to enable it.

   You can use the Enabled check box, along with the Start and End active dates, to control the availability of a class code. For example, you can create and enable a class code with a start date in the future. On that start date, the class code automatically becomes available for use. You can immediately make an active class code unavailable by clearing the Enable check box. Or you can inactivate a class code by specifying an end date on some day in the future.

4. Optionally assign a parent class code to at least one of the class codes. See: Assigning Parent Class Codes.
