<< Click to display table of contents >> Navigation:  General Fields > Code, Index and Variant

The code is the name of an element that is used to address it for any further use. The code is the unique key term under which an element is stored in the database (comparable to the name of a file).

The code can be entered manually (free) or with the help of a predefined coding schema.

The code consists of digits and characters and is displayed in the title bar (caption) of the tab. The following characters are not allowed:

%, *, ?, _ ,' or ".

Additional to the code, index and variant are provided as further, optional fields to identify an element clearly. Both fields can be used to create different versions or states of one and the same element (code) in the database.
