From your ONIXEDIT Preferences, you can use the Server Edition / Custom ONIX codes tab to hide or show some ONIX codes from the lists in ONIXEDIT Pro and ONIXEDIT Cloud, and also create your own custom ONIX codes for internal use.


WARNING: If you define your own custom ONIX codes, your ONIX files could be declared invalid and rejected by your trading partners. Your custom codes will not be valid in the ONIX standard.


Note: You can still hide existing ONIX codes without any risks for the validity of your ONIX files.
