Mapping Set Editor
Double-click a Mapping Set in the view to open the Mapping Set Editor. The editor consists of two pages: Members and Properties.
Members tab
By default, the following information is displayed in the columns on the Members Page.
Column | Description |
Source code system name | Refers to the terminology or Local Code System that was used as the map source. |
Source code | The code used in the source terminology or Local Code System. |
Source term | The name of the source code. |
Target code system name | Refers to the terminology or Local Code System that was used as the map target. |
Target code | Code used in the target terminology or Local Code System. |
Target term | The name of the target code. |
Comments | Any comments can be added to the mappings |
Summary Section
Besides the table with the main content, a Summary Section also provides useful information such as the number of mapped members or that of unmapped members.
Member Filter
A filter bar enables narrowing down the displayed members based on the entered search term. You can search for terms, IDs, or even member IDs using the search filter.
Target Code System Filter
In case of mapping source codes to target codes from multiple different Code Systems, the Target Code System filter allows you to restrict the mappings to certain Target Code Systems, providing a better overview of the members.
The wizard displays only the Target Code Systems that are relevant for the active Mapping Set.
The filter also provides two special options: UNMAPPED and UNKNOWN. The former filters for mappings without a target, while the latter lists mappings where the Target Code System is one that is not available in Snow Owl. These two options are always displayed in the Target Code System wizard. The rest of the displayed Target Code Systems are listed based on the Target Code Systems present in the Mapping Set.
Multi-selection of Target Code Systems is also supported. To select multiple Target Code Systems, tick the checkboxes of the desired Code Systems.
Filtering for both UNMAPPED and mapped members at the same time is currently unsupported.
Once the selection is ready, click Finish to confirm the filter. Mapping Set members in the editor will be displayed accordingly. To clear or modify the selection, press the filter button to bring up the wizard again, and make the necessary changes.
