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.

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. Renaming a code list doesn't update the name in its dependent objects, such as Data Integration mapping.
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. Ensure that an internal doesn't start with ent_ because the internal ID of default code lists start with ent_ . You can't specify internal IDs for existing assets that you created before the April 2025 release.
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.

The

Summary

tab of the code lists displays only the Reference Data Set, Name, and Description fields for users with a Reference Data Management Basic Edition license.

In the

External URLs

section, click

Add External URL

A blank row appears.

To add an external URL, enter a URL name and a link of an external page for an externally mandated code list.

The added external URL appears in the row. You can enter up to 4,000 characters for external URL names and links.

To remove an external URL, hover over a row, and click

To notify external stakeholders about changes to the code list, click

Add Notification Recipient

in the

Notification Recipients

section.

Ensure that you define a process in Cloud Application Integration to trigger notifications to external stakeholders in

Reference 360

. For more information about designing processes in Cloud Application Integration, see Designing Processes.

A blank row appears.

To add a notification recipient, enter a name, contact type, such as email or SMS text message, and the respective contact detail.

The added notification recipient appears in the row. You can enter up to 4,000 characters for notification recipient names and contact details.
