Coded value sets are a collection of possible values for a piece of data. Sets contain coding schemes recognized throughout the community, so any message recipient can identify a coded value by the scheme it belongs to and translate it to a preconfigured display name.
When a new community is created, several coded value sets are automatically generated for it. These sets are named for message attributes which would likely require the use of a coded value set, with the community name appended. However, you are not required to use these automatically generated sets, you can create new sets or use sets in common between communities.
See the following sections for information on configuring coded value sets:
