Key Expectations

What are the “Must Haves” in order for our customers to consider Code Set Management to be vastly improved in Next Gen?

  • One page to manage all Code Sets, with links to related functions that can be accessed in that same space 
  • Codes should unlock for editing as a page, not individual codes
  • More control over visibility of Fixed Codes 
  • When codes are edited, start/end dates automatically entered
  • Allow larger Code value sizes (especially Attendance Codes)
  • Allow Code Set to be used in multiple places, even on custom pages


Changes & Differences from Existing Functionality  

  • Allows true, independent Code Sets to be created, managed, and then applied to different entities inside Aeries 
  • Code Management Page that allows everything related to Codes to be handled in one dedicated space 
  • School Year fields will be used to control Code Sets for longitudinal database structure
  • Customization of Code Sets are easily accomplished and cross-referenced to state/federal codes, as necessary.
  • District ownership of Code Sets enforces data consistency, but visibility can be set at the school level
  • District identification of language translations needed, which will push down automatically to Code Sets to be translated
