Seq

This field indicates if the field is from a vertical table.

• (iTCCS only) sequence number = a hard-coded sequence resulting in a static number of multiple-records. If there are two contacts entered, they would have sequence numbers of 01 and 02.

Updateable

This field indicates if the data in the field can be updated by a parent. This is set automatically and cannot be changed.

• True (i.e., yes) indicates that the field can be updated by a parent.

• False (i.e., no) indicates that the field cannot be updated by a parent.
