Fields: Display Codes
Display codes provide a way to translate the different types of codes that are used in your database to more user-friendly labels that are displayed in Searching. For example, you might have a location code named “NB” that you may want to display as “North Branch” when Portfolio displays location information. This is especially helpful when differentiating between similar codes from multiple Discovery source sites.
