When coding from the Low Level Term (LLT) in the hierarchy grid, the dictionary coding popup window displays the verbatim in the Term field. The system automatically populates the search results with options based on the verbatim.
Note: A verbatim term defined on the form only appears in the Term field for the lowest hierarchy level.
Select a term from the search results.
The system attempts to find a unique path upward or stops when a level is found with multiple parent terms.
Select a term.
The system attempts to fill in the next level up. If there is no unique path, the system offers multiple choices for selection. This process continues until the highest level is reached and all terms are defined. When the classification is complete, the Save button appears automatically.
Click Save. The system captures all coding terms and definitions on the form. Alternatively, you can make a different selection or perform a new search at any level.
If you select a different term or do a new search at any level once the classification is complete, the system displays the following behavior:
You do nothing.
The current row remains highlighted and no changes occur on the screen. Click Save to complete the classification.
You select any level.
The system refreshes and displays the previous list. For example, if you click on a higher level term and then make a different selection, the system clears the records from all other levels, and starts filling in the parent levels. If each search finds only one parent, then the system fills the parent term, and then provide a list of valid choices at the next level down, the preferred term.
You perform a new search.
The system clears all levels; populates the current level with the selected term, and begins searching upward. If the search finds more than one parent, the system displays possible choices. If the search finds only one parent, the system offers the next search at the next level down.
