Create Conduct reference codes

Reference codes are shorthand codes for values you want users to select at fields and validate what users select.

Reference codes appear in pick lists. For example, if you want users to select Detention, Suspension, or Community Service at a Conduct Action code field, you must create those codes. Once the codes are created, you might find that you need to add a code. For example, if a new conduct action is offered at your district, you would add a new reference code to the Conduct Action table.
