| # Reason Codes If users perform particular actions on objects, for example, to lock a folder, or to reject a change proposal, the user receives a message to enter the reason for the action. You must select the reason from a list of predefined reasons. Each action for which reasons can be specified has a list of valid reasons. The ODM administrator must set up lists of valid reasons for various actions. If lists of reasons are defined, the object type on which the action is performed, together with the action code for the actions, identifies the action with which the list is associated.
