The ISO Code that appears on the bottom of sheets has many benefits.

It identifies sheet name/country/language code/version and date to encourage a quality procedural system for all users.

It appears on the "manage sheets" page within the list of sheets, allowing editors to manage their sheets more effectively.

It allows users to search for a particular sheet by using part or all of the code in the ISO Code Search Facility without having to go into each template to view the list of sheets available.

For example, a user may wish to search only for a particular language, ie FR (french), or a particular product, ie JFlex.

Therefore, it is important that editors follow the guide for correct use of the ISO Code.

Sheet Name

The sheet name should be the title of the sheet you are creating, ie "softcaresystem".

If you are creating sheets for customers, you may wish to add a reference to customer in this sheet, ie "jflex-bunzl".

If you are creating a language version that has been approved by several countries, for example a German sheet approved by Switzerland (CH), Germany (DE) and Austria (A). You could add this into your sheet name (CH/DE/A).

If you are creating a "draft" brochure over several sessions, preceed your sheet name with the words "draft" to show any users that this is a draft and should not be used.

Country Code

The country code should ideally be used to show the language origin. For example, FR for French, BFR (Belgium French).

This is a vital part of the ISO code as it allows users to easily identify from the menu list the language variations.

Version Number

Version control is important to ensure that only the most up-to-date version sheets are being used once printed.

Date

The date is automatically added by the system. If you are revisiting a page it will automatically update.

Use the activity report to identify any of your sheets that may need the ISO Code changed.
