| Code Table Header:
A lookup table which maps codes stored in various database columns to textual descriptions of those codes.
Curam allows a level of indirection when storing commonly-used values on the database. A short code is stored on the database column, and a code table is used to translate this short code into a textual description appropriate for a user. Code tables can be customized to allow different localized translations to be available.
Each translation for a Code Table Header is stored as a Code Table Item. A Code Table Header may specify one code as the default for the code table.
Example User Ronan Rooney (an English-speaker) opens a screen which instructs him to choose a weekday from a list. The screen presents the list Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Ronan Rooney chooses Wednesday and Curam stores his choice as the code DAY3.
User Pierre (a French-speaker) opens the same screen but is presented with the list `Lundi`, `Mardi`, `Mercredi`, `Jeudi`, and `Vendredi`. Pierre chooses `Mercredi` (= Wednesday) and Curam stores his choice as the code DAY3.
Technical Notes The timeEntered column is used to implement a caching mechanism between the Curam client and server.
