    Lookup Codes Table
        The `Lookup Codes` table is a list of all the tables used to store the items that appear as drop downs in the database. You cannot delete the tables themselves. However, within the tables the System Admin can add additional items, edit existing ones, and even delete those you do not need. A red `Delete` button appears beside the items that are not hardwired, indicating that you can delete them.

Categories:
    The codes are divided into the following categories:

    -  People
    -  Involvements
    -  Membership
    -  Contributions
    -  Tasks & Notes
    -  Media & Resources
    -  Miscellaneous
