Defining Collection Element Types
You must assign a collection element type to each collection element you define. The three predefined types are reference information, attribute, and variable.
To define collection element types:
You can define a maximum of 250 QuickCodes for a single QuickCode type. You cannot change the values in this field after saving them. To remove an obsolete QuickCode you can either disable the code, enter an end date, or change the meaning and description to match a replacement code.
The meaning and description are displayed in the list of values for the enabled collection element types.
You cannot use the collection element type before this effective date. If you do not enter a From Effective Date, the collection element type is valid immediately.
6. Optionally, enter the To Effective Date.
You cannot use the collection element type after this date. Once a collection element type expires, you cannot select this collection element type as you define collection elements, but you can query records that already use it. If you do not enter a To Effective Date, the collection element type is valid indefinitely.
If you disable a collection element type, you cannot select it as you define collection elements, but you can still query records that already use it. You can disable but not delete collection element types.
