In addition to the basic code information setup, additional system-wide or custom behaviors can be added for specific codes.

Codes are created at a certain location and then inherited by lower locations in the organizational structure. When creating certain codes, you are required to enter more than the basic code information. For example, when adding property type codes, you are required to select a base property type. This is an example of system-wide behavior. When a lower location inherits a code from a higher location, any system-wide behaviors that have been set up are inherited as well. System-wide behaviors can only be modified from the location where the code was created.

Custom behaviors can be applied to a code at a specific location, even if the code was not created at that location. For example, if you select an appeal level code that was created at a higher location in the organizational chart, you can apply custom behaviors at your location such as a prior level required and the property type.

If you select an existing code from a code list, the previous code information is displayed. Initially, the custom behavior fields are disabled, but you can click Add (ALT+A) to apply custom behavior to the selected code. The custom behavior fields become accessible, and you can enter the appropriate information. The custom behavior that can be applied to a code varies depending on the code type. Custom behavior can only be applied to certain codes.

If you set up custom behaviors for a code, and you want to remove them, click Restore (ALT+R). Any custom behaviors that you added are removed, and the fields are again disabled. This does not affect any system-wide behaviors that were set up previously.
