Classification Codes

If your Charitylog system is configured to use them, you may see a button at the bottom of the Record a Contact screen for Classification Codes. You can also set up custom coding systems from scratch.

Clicking this button will open the code lookup window.

You can now pick a code from level 1. Depending on the level 1 code, the box for level 2 can now be filled in with the relevant options, and likewise level 3, etc. If you need to add more than one code, simply click the black arrow and another line for code entry will appear.

The page is broken up by (A) action based classification codes and ( R) referral based classification codes. The difference is that action based codes are linked to the individual contact, where as referral based codes are linked to the overall referral.

You can access the classification codes button, and add a referral linked code, via the classification code button in the history section:

You can differentiate between referral and contact based codes when running a classification code extract report (this might be called Age UK Code Extract).
