Authoring

The authoring process of Custom Code Systems can flow on two different levels: schema and concept.

Schema

New property definitions can be added to the Code System on the Schema tab, after clicking on the button in the middle area.

Add New Property Type

The following attributes can be specified for a property definition:

Attribute
Description

Name

Unique name of the property (mandatory)

Type

Type of the property (mandatory)

Cardinality

Defines the number of elements (mandatory)

Default value

Initial value of the property

Description

Captures the purpose of the property

Changes to the property can be persisted by clicking the button.

Existing properties can be edited after clicking the button.

Concept

New concepts can be added to the Code System on the Content tab, after clicking on the button.

Create Code System Concept Wizard
Field
Description

Term

The name of the new concept (mandatory)

Code

The identifier of the new concept. If you leave this field empty, the system will automatically generate an ID for your Concept

Parent

The concept under which the new concept will be created

After pressing the button, the new concept will be added to the Code System tree and its editor will automatically open on the right side.

The preferred term of the concept - by default, the one defined during creation - is indicated with an icon.

Properties

Property types defined in the Code System Schema are automatically displayed in the concept editor. Values can be added to the properties by pressing the button.

If you restricted the potential number of values of a property, e.g. to1..1, the button won't appear and you won't be able to add more values to the given property.

Issues

Users can create issues related to specific Code System concepts using the Raise an issue context menu option, while existing issues can be viewed by selecting the Show issues action.
