Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for providing value help. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method may include receiving, at a code list provider, a request from a user interface for code list value help; determining, based on the request, whether to access at least one of a cache and a secondary storage; accessing, by the code list provider, a cache including at least a first code list, the cache implemented in memory, when the determination results in access to the cache; accessing a secondary storage including at least a second code list, when the determination results in access to the secondary storage; and sending, by the code list provider, at least one of the first code list and the second code list to a user interface to enable the user interface to provide code list value help. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
