Code Fields

Code fields are generally used to categorise tasks into common groups (such as Area, Shaft, Level, Responsibility or Ore Type, for example). Each value for a code field can be assigned a description, colour and pattern. The task bars on the Gantt chart can be coloured based on a code category.

Code field values are defined explicitly. Typically, these values represent a categorical value used to set the context of data within a database. They don't normally represent coordinate values such as grade, or coordinates.

You can define your own list of values, or generate them based on the values of another data attribute, such as a rock type or stope ID, for example. See Generate Code Field Values.

Code fields are configured using the Code Fields Screen.
