Overview
The SmartSimple platform comes with built-in code sets to help streamline the user's ease of look-up, identification, and categorization of various items specific to their instance. The three main built-in code sets include MeSH, NAICS and ICD.
Each code set corresponds to the categorization of a specific type of item that is beneficial to differing clients depending on which vertical market they belong to.
Description of Code Sets
Abbreviation | Description | Target Client | Use-Case |
---|---|---|---|
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) |
MeSH includes the list of medical terms used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for its computerized system of storage and retrieval of published medical reports. As a comprehensive controlled vocabulary, MeSH serves as a thesaurus that facilitates searching within the medical research market. |

NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) |
NAICS is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

MeSH | Custom Field Type: Lookup - MeSH |

The article should probably also reference the use of System Variables as the source of custom codes, with the limitation that these can only be presented though standard custom field types.
Must enable NAIC Codes thru the Global Settings page.
