What are Program Types?

Program Types are classification codes that categorize your programs by the type of service or activity they represent.

Custom Program Types

Your organization can add its own program types to match your specific needs. An admin or master builder can add a new type right from a program: click the orange plus (+) icon next to the Program Type field on the Program Details screen. Admins and master builders can also manage the full list under the Classification Codes menu, on the Program Types tile.

The orange plus (admins and master builders only) next to Program Type adds a new one without leaving the record.

Classification Codes in the left menu holds the full list.
