Sets and subsets
If you have many sets, then you can categorize them into subsets. This reduces the size of the list in the Lookup dialog. The period “.”
is the punctuation mark that is used to separate the set code and the subset.
For example, regulation items (FDA
, CTFA
, USDA
) can be prefixed by REG.
:
REG.FDA
REG.USDA
Packaged goods sets (cans, lids, bottles, labels) can be prefixed by PKG.
:
PKG.LIDS
PKG.CANS
Food sets such as:
BAKERY.BREAD
BAKERY.CAKES
FAST_FOOD.HAMBURGERS
FAST_FOOD.PIZZA
