These code tables contain the country and state (region or province) codes that should be available for Users to complete Student demographic information. 

User View: These fields display when manually adding students into the system and are located in the Student's File on the Contact Page.  They are also used in the Company code setup.

Student/Manager View: The student sees the description applied on his or her Home Page > My Record > Job Info Section.

Creating Location Codes

Important Considerations:  Cyber Train codes cannot contain certain symbols such as commas, quotes, periods, apostrophes or ampersands and the user will get an error message when trying to enter or import codes containing them. There are also certain character combinations that must be avoided because Cyber Train is programmed to strip them (even if they are in the middle of a code or description) as they can be used by others to reference potentially dangerous procedures or scripts that could cause harm to your Cyber Train system. These combinations include: SP_ or sp_ and XP_ or xp_. Also a double dash will be converted to a single dash. There are a few other combinations not listed here that could be stripped, but it is extremely unlikely that they would be used in codes or descriptions.

After clicking "Add new record." enter in the necessary information to create a new code.

Field Purpose
Code This is the unique identifier for the drop-down option. This code is written in the raw data and is referenced to determine the description to show on the screen. If the code is removed from the Admin > Codes section, this value will still be in the Class File for reporting purposes unless the file is edited and saved after the code was deleted.
Description This is what is displayed on the screens and for users when in the system.

Inactivating Codes

These codes cannot be inactivated.

NOTE: If a code cannot be inactivated, it is not recommended to delete the code as this could cause "holes" in your data. Instead, consider adding a "z" to the beginning of the Description field as this will move the code to the bottom of the list.
