Code Management is where the district system admin can manage all district code tables that affect drop-down options users will see on screens throughout the DnA system. Instructions to add or make changes in code management are found often in this System Setup and Admin Help Manual. Below are the basic instructions on how to access Code Management.
Where to Start
1. Select the Administration Gear, then select Code Management.

- Enter the System Key into the textbox.
- This value is stored on the back-end of Dna/ISE.
- For example, EN is a System Key for English.
