Adding Category Codes to WorkManager En Mass

To install new or make changes to existing Category Codes in WorkManager "en mass" use the following procedure:

  1. Create a CSV text file with the category codes in the following format:
    AL,ALS,41,ALS - INSERTION DEVICE BEAMLINES,70,BL 6.0.1.2 BRANCH LINE
    AL,ALS,41,ALS - INSERTION DEVICE BEAMLINES,71,BL 6.0.1 BRANCH LINE
    AL,ALS,41,ALS - INSERTION DEVICE BEAMLINES,72,BL 6.0.2 BRANCH LINE
    
  2. Login to WM and use Extras / Command Line to get a command line window.
  3. In the Command Line window, type Lbnl_make_codes and then provide a quoted path name to the CSV file created in step 1.

    For example:

    Lbnl_make_codes 'C:\docume~1\osborn\desktop\new_codes.csv'
