Optimize

As part of the authoring process, users also have the option to optimize their value sets. This feature simplifies value sets by replacing members with ECL expressions. For example, if all the children of a concept are added, it will reduce the clauses to a single clause using the following format: < parentId | FSN |.

To use this option, navigate to the specific value set and start editing. In the upper right corner on the authoring page press thebutton.
