# Field Coding Configuration

When a Field is intended to be coded by a Medical Coding product such as Medidata Coder the Field attribute "Coding Dictionary" is entered.

Beside the Coding Dictionary name attribute is a dropdown arrow. Clicking this arrow expands the Coding section in the Form editor.

The Coding section allows the entry of:

- Coding Level
- Coding Priority
- Locale
- Approval Required
- Auto-Approval
- Supplemental Terms
- Component Terms

> **Important:** Information in the Coding Section is only saved when the Coding Dictionary field is entered. It is not meaningful to have information about Coded Fields which are not related to a Coding Dictionary.

> **Important:** Unlike Rave Architect TrialGrid does not store information about available Coding Dictionaries for a URL. For this reason TrialGrid currently cannot offer suggestions for Coding Dictionaries, Coding Level or the Component Name value for Component Terms.
