A system and method for configuring identification codes associated with electronic records is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a user interface enables a user to create or edit an identification code configuration by displaying identification code characteristics and receiving corresponding identification code characteristic selections. The identification code characteristics include information segments, separators, and identification code types. The identification code characteristic selections are stored in a database or other data storage structure so as to define the identification code configuration.
