A fixed lexicon is a lexicon that has values provided by High Line that are part of the system seed data. The values that a fixed lexicon imparts are fixed inasmuch as there is usually programming that is looking for specific values.

Rules regarding fixed lexicons:

  • If you delete any fixed lexicon values, they will be re-added when this seed data is next reloaded
  • Changing the descriptive meaning (display value) of this lexicons is discouraged because:
    • The original descriptive meaning will be restored when you reload this seed data next
    • There may be specific programing that will be confounded by a user's expectation (given the change in meaning)
  • Adding new values to this lexicon is discouraged because:
    • Any values added will be removed when the seed data is next reloaded
    • There will be no programming to support your additions.

If you have a need to add to a fixed lexicon, it is recommended you contact High Line Support
