The ability to edit and customize select fields may also depend on which version of PULSE you are using (DC Unlimited or MyDC). See the topics below to learn more:

- [Edit Dairy User Permissions](docId\:dgKiJJMfdmpDvWGygh_P2)
- [Manage Dairy Roles](docId\:tklz3_ROmKlipE8l-rFi6)

The **Disposal Codes** page allows you to view all available disposal codes for your dairy. Whenever a disposal event is entered, a disposal code is assigned to it.DC Unlimited subscribers can also edit the code descriptions and add new disposal codes if they have the required permissions.

**IMPORTANT: **Use caution when changing disposal codes, as some are commonly used in the dairy industry and linked to processing centers that computerize dairy data.
