The eLandings Look-up Codes files (i.e. Species Codes, Stat Areas Codes, Condition Codes, Gear Codes, etc.) are available for download at:
eLandings Look-up Code Files in XML format and eLandings Look-up Code Files in Human readable format
Within eLandings, we use these lookup code files to:
- Validate a users data entry within a field
- Provide a user with a list of choices
- Communicate information concisely
Example 1 - Validate a users data entry within a field
In eLandings, users create landing reports. Each landing report requires the user to define what type of gear was used while fishing. eLandings has a list of accepted gear codes. Users are able to type in the code quickly. eLanding can then check the gear code list to see if the the user entered a gear code that is recognized by eLandings.
Example 2 - Provide a user with a list of choices
In eLandings, while creating a landing report, users can define how fish were refrigerated on-board the vessel. These refrigeration or chill types are known as Chill codes. eLandings can dynamically create a dropdown combo-box listing all of the chill types available for a user to select from.
Example 3 - Communicate information concisely
When eLandings web service encounters a problem, the error, warning or information can often be described with a common message code. The web service client can look up the message id to display the information in a human readable form or lookup additional information associated with the message code.
