Setting Up Code References
Code references provide detailed specifications that come from a broad range of codes, guidelines, ordinances, and so forth. Even if the source document does not use the word “code,” use the Code References pages to enter the information into the system. A code reference maps to a specific section in the source document.
You add, modify, and delete code references on the Code Reference page.
Prerequisites
Before you set up code references, you must define:
Code types, which represent specific published documents that contain codes, guidelines, and so forth.
Standard types, which describe the different fields or disciplines that codes relate to. Examples might include fire safety or electrical systems.
Set up standards types by defining values for the ORA_PSC_CC_STD_CODE_TYPE lookup type. Define these values on the Lookup Type pages. See Setting Up Lookups.
