Multicode Search

This tool gives you the ability to search for a topic across multiple Codes in eCode360, allowing you to see how different municipalities handle similar issues and giving you samples of legislation that you may incorporate into your own Code amendments.

How to use the Multicode tool
Click on the Multicode button on the Menu Bar to open the Multicode Code Finder screen.


Using the Code Finder, you will narrow down the Codes to search through, add them to the search list and enter the term that you are researching.

  1. Find Codes: Enter the name of a municipality to find that Code, or enter information in the criteria fields to narrow the list of available Codes by County, Zip, State, etc.
  2. Add Codes: Add individual Codes by clicking the + next to their name in the list; add all Codes by clicking the + next to Add All Codes (matching your criteria).
  3. Code to Search: Inspect this list to ensure that the Codes or criteria listed are what you want to search. You can add as many individual Codes or criteria as you like. You can also remove Codes for the "Codes to Search" list by using the "(X)" at the end of each chip.
      4. User Tip: Clicking on a criteria chip in the Codes to search listing will reset the Code Finder to that criteria. You can then modify the criteria and update your "Codes to Search" listing
  4. Search Codes: Click on the title of the result to open and view that specific section of the Code or document.

Once you click "Search", a search results page similar to the one that displays basic searches will load:


  1. Multicode: This chip will return you to the Multicode dialog box where you can perform a new search; or add/remove Codes to search.
  2. Code: This active group of hyperlinks will both describe exactly where this result is located; and navigate there.
  3. Filters: Narrow down your search results selecting just the types of results that you want to see.

To return to basic search mode from a Multicode result, click the "(X)" in the Multicode chip in the search bar. To return to normal Code browsing, click the "Home" button in the top navigation bar.

Add Notes and Custom Links

As a logged-in user, it is easy to add a note to the Code once you've found a particular section that is of interest to you. In addition to the text you type, a note can contain a link to external information, another part of your Code, or even a form on your own municipal website.

There are three kinds of Notes you can create:
  • Private Notes are visible only to you. All your Private Notes can be viewed later in a single list, like bookmarks.
  • Group Notes are visible to you and other Municipal and Administrative users of your eCode. Group Notes allow municipal staff with eCode360 passwords to discuss potential Code changes and provide internal clarity about a particular section of your Code.
  • Public Notes are visible to everyone who accesses the Code (even your constituents), but can only be created by Administrative users with passwords. These notes are great for providing constituents with relevant supplementary information or links within your electronic Code. For more information on creating Public Notes, click here.
