Overview
The SmartSimple platform comes with built-in code sets to help streamline the user's ability to categorize various items specific to the purpose of their instance, dependent on the vertical market they belong to or the usage or their platform. The three main built-in code sets include MeSH, NAICS and ICD.
To enable these code sets as Custom Field options, you will need Global User Administrator access.
