Upon entry to this form, you are provided with a list of ‘codes’ to initialize. The list of codes available will depend on which option you selected from the File menu (of EM Allocation Codes). Select the codes to initialize using the Shift key for consecutive selection or the Ctrl key for random selection. Then click the Add button to move your selections to the ‘include in allocation’ list. If you are initializing all allocation codes, click the Add All button.
