Lexicons are an application concept where a finite list of values is presented to the user in translatable language, for control over data entry. Lexicons, defined in IMLN, come in three styles:
The basic premise behind a lexicon is that there is a value in the data base (the saved value) which is what any programming or application logic looks for. There is also a value presented to the user (the displayed value) which allows for a more descriptive meaning to be associated to that code, and also allows for translation into other languages or even into corporate lingo.
Screen captures are meant to be indicative of the concept being presented and may not reflect the current screen design.
