Lesson 3.4 Activity

Practice organizing your database taxonomy by completing these 3 steps in your FastFund environment:

1. Navigate to the Codes Table: Go to Lists > Codes (under the DATA sub-menu) and select Attribute from the Code Type drop-down menu.
2. Create a New Code: Click New + and create an Attribute code named “Newsletter Recipient.” Add a brief comment, such as “Receives quarterly print newsletter,” and click SAVE.
3. Practice Inactivation: Click directly on the “Newsletter Recipient” code you just created to open the Edit window. Check the Inactive box and click SAVE. Notice how you can use this feature to retire old tags without breaking historical data.
