HardCoded
HardCoded
Hard Coded

This refers to when a value is entered and set, rather than allowing a user to change it. In 15630910 a report writer can hard code filter values, or values in calculated fields. This means that the user is not prompted to provide a value, rather it is always the value the report writer set.
The alternative in these cases is to implement user prompt filters, or use parameters in their calculations.

HEX
HEX
HEX

Hexadecimal (Hex) is a base 16 number system, using symbols 0-9, A, B, C, D, E, and F to represent values 0 to 15.
HTML and CSS use Hex to identify colours by assigning to digits to each colour; 2 x Red, 2 x Green, and 2 x Blue respectively, and prefixed with a hash (#) symbol.
15630910 uses Hex codes to identify colours throughout the system, as well as in its 15630910 files.
See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp for more information.
