Creating new value sets

Editors of a project may create new value sets through the value set form. If you have the corresponding permissions, the button appears above the list of value sets (1).

Clicking on the button opens the value set creation dialog. You have four options to populate a new value set:

• Browse and use existing code systems like LOINC, etc.
• Entering codes on your own manually
• Use complete code systems (OID)
• Add codes as exceptions, e.g. nullFlavors

Value set associations

With a valueset association it is possible to create a link between a dataset concept and a valueset. The workflow for setting up a valueset associations:

• Go to datasets
• Create a concept in the dataset with the type 'Code' and save it
• Go to Terminology - tab Terminology associations
• Select in the left concept tree the just created concept
• Choose on the left of the 'valueset associations' the button: “Add”
• Select the valueset to associate with
• Make a choice:
  • Creating a static associations: associate to this version valueset (whereby the version is determined by the date of the valueset). In this choice some changes/version are possibly not associated with the dataset concept.
  • Creating dynamic associations: associate to this version valueset. If there is a new version valueset the dataset concept will still be associated with the latest version of the valueset.

• Go to datasets, select the concept. Now it will display that there is a valueset association created and also on which date and time it is created.
• When clicking on the link behind 'valueset associations' you'll be directed to the valueset itself.
