The authoring process of Custom Code Systems can flow on two different levels: schema and concept.
New property definitions can be added to the Code System on the Schema tab, after clicking on the button in the middle area.
The following attributes can be specified for a property definition:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Unique name of the property (mandatory) |
Type | Type of the property (mandatory) |
Cardinality | Defines the number of elements (mandatory) |
Default value | Initial value of the property |
Description | Captures the purpose of the property |
Once you added a property definition you can customize it by clicking in the text fields and entering an attribute value, or selecting one from the drop-down.
Different property types are indicated with different colors.
If you select a concept from the tree, it will be considered the parent concept. You can change this in the creation wizard.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Term | The name of the new concept (mandatory) |
Code | The identifier of the new concept. If you leave this field empty, the system will automatically generate an ID for your Concept |
Parent | The concept under which the new concept will be created |
You can specify alternative terms for a concept, and even move the preferred flag to the newly added terms.
If you specified a default value in the Schema, the property will automatically be populated with it when adding a new value.

Changes to the property can be persisted by clicking the button.
Existing properties can be edited after clicking the button.
New concepts can be added to the Code System on the Content tab, after clicking on the button.
After pressing the button, the new concept will be added to the Code System tree and its editor will automatically open on the right side.
The preferred term of the concept - by default, the one defined during creation - is indicated with an icon.
Property types defined in the Code System Schema are automatically displayed in the concept editor. Values can be added to the properties by pressing the button.
If you restricted the potential number of values of a property, e.g. to1..1, the button won't appear and you won't be able to add more values to the given property.
Users can raise issues related to specific Code System concepts using the icon. Existing issues can be viewed by pressing the icon.
