Attorney Appointment Configuration Code Fields
Attorney Appointment Configuration codes define pools, or wheels, for attorneys to be assigned to cases. The following fields
are displayed when configuring these codes.
System-Wide Code and Description Fields
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| Show this code for Location | Select this check box to enable the code for the selected location. |
| Use for API only | Select this check box to indicate that the code is only for use with an application program interface (API). |
| Code | The code word you previously entered is displayed here, but you can enter a different code if needed. If you enter a code
word that has already been assigned to another code, a warning message is displayed, as codes must be unique.
Code words can contain numbers and uppercase or lowercase letters. You can also include periods, dashes, underscores, and
parentheses. The word ALL cannot be included in the code word, regardless of case.

| Description | Type a description for the code. |
| Mappings (ALT+M) | This option is not available for all codes. If mapping is available for the code, click this link to map codes in Odyssey to state-specific codes. |
System-Wide Effective Information Fields
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| Effective Date | If the code is not available until a specific date, enter the date that the code becomes available. |
| Obsolete Date | If the code becomes obsolete (meaning it is no longer used) or will become obsolete at some point in the future, enter an
obsolete date.
The code is considered to be inactive when it reaches the obsolete date and remains obsolete until the date is removed or
changed to a future date. When a code is made obsolete, it is no longer accessible to the users and cannot be selected.
