User's Guide to CMS Codes  

The Cy Think Content Management System (CMS) uses CMS Codes to put values in various drop-down controls and other similar lists. The administrator manages the CMS Codes using the Codes function in the Administrator's Action Menu. CMS Codes are organized into groups by Code Type or "codecode".

For each distinct group of codes there is a separate "codecode". Most of the time, a "codecode" is used in a single table and in a single context. Sometimes, however, a code may be used in more than one table or for more than one field in a single table.

Code types work because supporting computer program code exists in the CMS. Both must be in place for them to work. If you think there is a problem in this area, you will probably need to contact your support provider.

This is a list of the currently supported code types. Whenever a new code type is created, it is added here. This list enables the administrator to activate supported code types in the application, as needed. The most-used CMS codes are marked with (*). Look at one of these to better understand CMS Codes.
