About coding definitions

A coding definition is a set of parameters that is used in conjunction with assignment rules to process incoming requests.

A coding definition:

  • Is associated with a coding dictionary.
  • Consists of a synonym list, stopword list, and coding algorithm.
  • Controls the dictionary elements that appear in the user interface and are returned to the source application. For more information, see About configuring dictionary elements.

You can create, manage, and delete coding definitions. You can also view the auto-suggestions that are associated with a coding definition and specified verbatim. For information on auto-suggestions, see About auto-suggestions.
