Adding MNS Codes

You can add the codes in the Contenta S1000D interface to your MNS for your DMCs and ICNs.

About this task

You may also add codes by uploading a DMRL or CSV file. See Uploading a CSV file to create S1000D codes.

You can assign DM templates to each information code. If you do so, when you create a DM object that uses the information code, Contenta S1000D creates it using its corresponding template. See Creating DM Templates.

Procedure

  1. In Contenta S1000D, navigate to the desired Configuration object.
  2. Click Tools, then click S1000D Define and Manage MNS.
  3. Select the MNS to which you want to add the code.
  4. In the Select MNS Code Type drop down list, select the type of code that you are adding.
  5. Click Create New MNS Code.
  6. In the MNS Code text box, type the new code.
    Each code type has different syntax requirements. Click in the text box to display that code's specific syntax.
  7. If you are creating an Information Code, in the Data Module Type drop down list, select a data module type.
    These types correspond to the templates in the Contenta S1000D database. This DM type is no longer used by any Contenta S1000D tools. It is retained for customization.
  8. Click Create MNS Code.
