Resource codes
You can categorize resources using codes. With potentially hundreds of resources being used across an enterprise of projects, codes provide another method for filtering the resources you need to access quickly, or for grouping resources for analysis and summarization in layouts. You can also use resource codes to group, sort, and filter resources in profiles and spreadsheets.
