The Codes Manager

The Codes Manager is a hub for [anchor]codes [/anchor]functionality, such as defining defining the work breakdown structure (WBS), adding codes, and making assignments. The window itself is non-modal, meaning that you can navigate to other menus or make modifications on the canvas without having to close it.

In each view, the bottom list can be filtered using the search field provided above it, and both lists can be customized by having their columns sorted, added and removed. In the bottom list, the canvas will be scrolled and the item spotlighted as you select different items, but this can be disabled. In addition, both lists can be individually exported to Excel. Instructions provided below.

NOTE: Sorting is not saved and will refresh when changing views or leaving and coming back.
