# CMT Noun - Modifier Settings

**CAPS Group - CMT Schema Group relationship**

The relationship between CAPS Group and CMT Schema Group is defined in **Maintenance → CAPS Common Data → Component Groups**. Defined there are the Component Group and Product Group Tables.

## Setup for Short Name Characters

The following sections describe the proces of setting up CAPS2025 to assign the appropriate characters to the Short Name.

### Short Name characters 1 and 2

Depending on the Schema, Character 2 can be defined in two ways:

1. Format (Noun_modifier) table.
2. Format Position Character Value Table and Format Position, Character Value and Character Type Item.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Only one product group assigned to a Noun_Modifier can define a Short name and Application code schema if configured in Settings / Maintenance / CMT Common Data / Short Name Position Sequence.
> 
> 
> 
> Users can choose which one to configure and use as a schema, and users can even create a generic one. Using the same product group for the same component group is essential.

Format Tables for Piston Type Check Valves.

### Short Name Characters 3, 4 and 5

Characters 3,4, and 5 are defined in the Format Position Character Value table and Format Position, Character Value and Character Type Item table.

## Setup for Application Code Characters

Characters 1 - 8 of the Application Code (Characters 8-16 of CAPS Code) are defined in format Position Character Value table and Format Position, Character Value and Character Type Item table.

### Setup of Specific Characters for Short Name and Application Codes

The sequence for a particular attribute/spec must be defined in the Short Name Position Sequence table. After that, the value setup via the main Format table can be config in two ways:

1. A character can be defined by one or more Attribute/Spec.
2. One or more possible values can define one Attribute/Spec.

### Application Code Character Settings

The number of characters used to construct the Application Code can be modified on a site-by-site basis through CAPS2025’s settings. Typically, use 11 characters for an application code and all other components use 4 characters, however, any component group can be allowed to use 11 characters.

To change the required number of characters for an Application Code from 4 to 11:

- Open the Settings Menu by clicking **Settings** at the top of your main screen.
- Navigate to **Maintenance** → **Configuration → Application Settings**.
- Click on the *Edit* icon to open **Valve configuration per company** application setting.

Add Company Code and Component Group.

- Click **+**. A new blank row will be added to the list of objects.
- Enter the Company Code (see **Settings → Maintenance → Common Data → Companies** to find Company Codes) in the first field and the Component Group code (e.g. VS for valves) in the second field.
- Click **Save and Close**.

Following this, any Application Codes entered for components under those selected companies will require 11 characters instead of 4.
