See Enterprise Data Project Codes Toolbar.

Name field

This field displays the name of a project code or value. Project codes help to organize the projects in your EPS in groups according to specific categories. You can define unlimited hierarchical project codes to fulfill the filtering, sorting, and reporting requirements for your projects, and arrange them hierarchically for easier management and assignment.

Description field

This field displays a description of the corresponding project code.

Maximum Length field

The field displays the maximum length of the project code. You can arrange codes by ascending, descending, or random order.

Secure option

Secure codes enable privileged users to hide Project, Activity, Issue and Resource codes from users that do not have security privileges to view them. Secure codes are structured hierarchically. In other words, if a user is granted add/delete privileges, that user automatically has edit, assign, and view privileges. If a user is granted edit privileges, that user is automatically granted assign and view privileges. If a user is granted assign privileges, that user is automatically assigned view privileges.

Weight field

This field displays the weight of each project code. Weighted project codes make it possible to rank or prioritize projects by using numerical values to calculate a project score. P6 calculates project score based on the weights associated with project codes and project code values assigned to a project. To use project scoring features, you must create weighted project codes and code values and assign them to the projects you want to rank.

Weight Percent field

P6 will calculate the percent value that corresponds to the code's weight.

Maximum Code Value Weight field

This field shows the maximum allowed weight value for a specific project code type.
