GP_PIN_CATEGORY |
Define category codes that help classify elements and supporting elements. |
Industries and categories are ways to further classify elements. You create codes for the industries and categories that are applicable to your organization. For each code, you specify if it is applicable to all countries or a specific country.
You can view all industry and category codes through the Industries/Regions and Categories pages. Your security level, as defined on the User Rules Profile page, determines the countries for which you can add industries and categories.
You associate an industry and category with an element by selecting from prompt tables on the Element Name page. The country for which an element is defined determines the available industry and category codes.
Note: You cannot change or delete existing industry codes or categories because they are also entered in the GP_PIN table. Updating the Industries/Regions or the Categories page does not update the GP_PIN table.
