CMT Common Data Menu.

The CMT Common Data Settings consists of nine sections: Noun-Modifier Character Type, Character Type Item, Short Name Position Sequence, Product Group, Reference Number Type, Synonym, Unit of Measure, Standard Institute, and Deleted and Replaced Material Items. CMT2025 relies on these sections to define the relationship between CAPS Codes and the CMT Codes, as well as providing other data used to support the application. Some of the sections are described below.

## Noun-Modifier Character Type

The Format main table consists of the Noun_Modifier main table which provides the connection between CAPS2025 and the CMT Database. This includes the Nouns (Component Types) and the associated first one or two characters of the Short Name.

## Format Character Type

The Noun-Modifier Character Type table contains a list of all specifications (attributes) in the CMT database that can describe a noun-modifier.
