How do I retire a concept that is being used as a stated parent?

You need to confirm the inactivation. Start by clicking the inactivation button in the editors dialog box (popup window). This dialog has tabs that list the children and the descendants of the selected concept. The "Incoming relationships" tab shows all the destination relationships that would be affected by the inactivation. You will need to do a replacement/substitution for any concepts that may be affected by the change. Once the replacement/substitution is completed you can retire the concept.

How do I inactivate a concept that is being used as an inferred parent?

Yes, there are no restrictions on preventing an Author from skipping best authoring practices.

Caution -Validation should be done before promotion. 

Caution --Promoting content which has not been classified can lead to unexpected classification results in other author's tasks.

Within the review view a reviewer is not obligated to provide feedback on a concept. The purpose of the Concept Reviewed is to move concepts that a user does not desire to provide feedback on. The thought behind this is that all feedback is then only for concepts that require action or discussion. Moving a concept to the concept review list does not signify any specific status. * note this will change with the redesign of review and feedback

Validation runs the Release Validation Framework which checks the following assertions -

Assertions Validated for the SNOMED CT International Edition#ComponentCentricValidation

You can use wildcards in the search term to find partial matches. Asterisk ( * ) matches all subsequent characters regardless of word length. Question mark ( ? ) matches a single character. For example:

punc* would find all words stemmed with "punc" eg punch, punched, punctum, puncture etc
punc? would find punch
punc??? would find punched and punctum
punc?u? would find punctum but not punched

What is Grouped by concept ?- it isn't clear to me what is being grouped?  Descriptions? Subtypes?

Taxonomy

How do I tell if this the inferred view or stated?

Use Case -Penni edited, I claimed and reviewed then she got it back. She then had to rebase, and then does Penni promote and is that the same as approving. Or is my reviewed = to approving.

Reviewed is not = to approving only promotion = approved

• If a description or relationship is inadvertently dropped onto the same concept, it DOES NOT automatically save. Affirmative action is required by the user. If the "Save Concept" button is not clicked and the task is promoted, the concept that appears to be modified will be unchanged on the term-server.
• The save button can be eliminated by using the "Revert concept" button to undo all changes and return the concept to the currently saved state on the term-server.

Can a task be closed without going through the whole process (e.g. task created and found to be a duplicate - with appropriate processes in place here)?

How are tasks assigned?

Can tasks be re-assigned?

Can I delete a task I created by mistake?

• Project-level deletion
  • Go to Projects, select a Project with tasks, view the Tasks in Project
  • Click the gear icon to the right of a task
  • Modal appears, click Delete task
  • Modal closes, table updates with that task no longer shown
• Task-level deletion
  • Click on a task from dashboard
  • Click Edit Task
  • Modal opens, click Delete task
  • Modal closes, application routes to dashboard, deleted task is no longer shown

Use Case

I picked up a concept for review and then clicked "Show in Edit Panel." The concept FSN and descriptions are visible, but not the isa relationship and any additional attribute-value relationships. Therefore I cannot fully review the concept and change made to it.

The change that the author has made to the concept is likely inactivation. In this case all of the concepts relationships are also inactivated. By default inactive relationships are not displayed in the edit panel. If you click the down arrow in the header you will be able to view these inactive relationships

In order to fully define a concept, I added a new Is-a relationship but I can't remove the existing Is-a relationship. There is no minus sign by it.

The new Is-a relationship has a minus sign as does the Has dose form attribute I added.

Based on discussion with the authors, the following abbreviations should be used to indicate the case significance.

• cI for 900000000000020002|Only initial character case insensitive (core metadata concept)|
• CS for 900000000000017005|Entire term case sensitive (core metadata concept)|
• ci for 900000000000448009|Entire term case insensitive (core metadata concept)|

The tooltip does not indicate if the classification results were accepted or not. It simply shows that a classification report exists for this task. When you click on the icon, you can review the report.

If the classification icon is red, the report could not be retrieved for some reason, this is unrelated to your editing. In this case you should try to run the classification again

If the project is FORWARD you can go ahead and promote your project. As there is no need to rebase, this button is disabled. FORWARD indicates that the content on your project is "ahead" of the content on the mainline, so there is new content on your project that is not on mainline yet. This is the best case scenario.

After project promotion, your project status will change to UP-TO-DATE. This means that the content on your project is now the same as the content on the mainline. As there is no content to promote, and no need to rebase, both buttons are disabled.

You have to rebase if the status is BEHIND or DIVERGED. To avoid mistakes, we restricted the workflow so that you can only promote if you have rebased.

• If someone else promotes a project, your project status will change to BEHIND. This means that there is content on the mainline that is not reflected in your project yet.
• DIVERGED means that your project and the mainline do have different content. For example, if you promote a task to your project and someone else promotes their project to the mainline.

If an author did not classify before promoting tasks, the results are showing up in the classification results for every other task on the branch. Once they are promoted, the only way to remove them from all other tasks is to rebase again, and rerun classification.

Note- There is no 'blocking' but only a warning before promoting. It is up to the decision of the author to promote without classifying, or not.

This is due to a constraint based on how the MRCM save validation works - MRCM rules currently apply to the inferred view, not stated. This means new content must be classified (and inferred relationships saved) before it is permitted as an attribute value in the concept edit panel. Attempting to add the parent before it is classified will trigger the MRCM validation rule, blocking the save action.

The process is as follows:
1. Create new parent concept. Save.

2. Classify and save classification results.

3. Copy the new parent SCTID from the more details popup in the edit panel concept header.

3. Search for new parent by pasting the new SCTID into the Search tab.

4. Create new child concept. Add FSN, PT.

5. Drag the parent from the search list as a target into the new child concept empty Is A relationship. Save.

Similar principles apply to other attributes - any new concepts must first be classified and the results saved before using as an attribute target. 

Currently the MRCM only allows you to save a concept if the attribute value is specified before the attribute type. The easiest is to add a new relationship that has no attribute type specified yet. A bit complicated but a workaround until the fix (WRP-2300) is implemented.

Notification message for Error performing search[object Object] Not Found - When you open a task for the first time, the branch is created, which takes a few seconds. If you start searching during this time, you will get the error in the search as the latest version of SNOMED hasn't been completely loaded into your task -the system needs to catch up and will work in a few moments.

I want to enter digits in my search queries
So that I can match numeric values in text descriptions as well as searching for valid SCTIDs

For numeric values that aren't SCTIDs returning empty results, by entering the value as a string query enclosed in double quotes. For example, entering "101" (including the quotes) will return all concepts with the digits 101 in their descriptions. Wildcards can also be added, for example "101"* will return all concepts with numbers starting with the digit sequence101 in their definitions (eg 1011, 1013 etc).

Results will also include concepts whose relationship values include the quoted string, for instance searching for "101"* showsHemoglobin Rush (substance) as the 8th result, which is actually matching its acceptable synonym Hb 101(G3), Glu-gln
