Key eCode360 Features
An optional upgrade to eCode360, TrackBack lets users quickly find and view the original ordinances that make up their code. As new ordinances are added, TrackBack automatically embeds links in the related code section so users can easily refer back to the original code content with a single click.

View previous versions of your code online. This permanent archive of your eCode is a valuable tool for historical documentation and legal research.

Fully customizable, the “home” page allows you to provide links to the most requested or important sections of your code, offer “Quick Links” to external resources, and list municipal contact information.

ecode360 api
Stay connected to your online code through your own applications
General Code’s eCode360 API allows our partner communities to seamlessly integrate content from our proprietary eCode360 online code portal into their own systems and platforms – including those from 3rd party providers and developers or other vendors. By leveraging code as data, the eCode360 API provides a reliable live connection to information housed on eCode360 via the applications local governments already use. It also eliminates the need to import code information manually, which can save municipalities valuable time and resources. The eCode360 API can be an important tool for keeping citizens connected and municipalities running efficiently, all without time-consuming or potentially costly system upgrades or reconfigurations.
