Step 1. Create a code list

Create a code list in a reference data set, and configure the general properties, external URLs, notification recipients, and status of the code list. You can specify internal ID and alias for a code list.

Effective in the April 2025 release, the ability to specify a unique internal ID and alias for a code list is available for preview.

Preview functionality is supported for evaluation purposes but is unwarranted and is not supported in production environments or any environment that you plan to push to production. Informatica intends to include the preview functionality in an upcoming release for production use, but might choose not to in accordance with changing market or technical circumstances. For more information, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.

Before you begin, you must create a reference data set.

Click

New

and select

Code List

The

New Code List

page appears and displays the

Summary

tab.

Select a reference data set to associate with this code list.

Configure the general properties fields.

Code lists inherit the domain, confidentiality, and priority from the reference data set.

Field	Description
Name	Required. Display name of a code list.
Internal ID	Required. Unique identifier of a code list, limited to a maximum of 45 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters and underscores. After you save an asset, you can't edit the internal ID. You can't specify internal IDs for existing assets.
Alias	Alternative identifier for a code list, limited to a maximum of 70 alphanumeric characters. After you save an asset, you can edit the alias.
Version	Version information of a code list.
Description	Short description of the code list. The description cannot exceed 4000 characters.
Additional Description	Additional description of a code list. You can add additional details of a code list in the Additional Description field.
Application	Source application of the code values.
Domain	Area or grouping to describe the code values.
Confidentiality	Confidentiality level of the code list inherited from the reference data set. The confidentiality levels are confidential, internal, restricted, and public.
Priority	Priority of a code list. The priority levels are critical, high, medium, and low.
Status	State of a code list in the life cycle.
Effective Date	Date from when the status is effective.
Approved by	User who approved a code list.
Approved on	Date of approval.

If you do not see options in some lists, configure your system reference data values. For more information, see Adding values to system reference data.
