Working with a master
Every tab follows the same pattern: search, Add button, and a table with edit/delete actions per row. Entries have a code (stable identifier), label and status — deactivate instead of deleting when a value is already in use.
Export / Import (top right) moves entire master sets between environments as files — handy for seeding a new instance.
