Changes from a Value Set Selection
The figure at right shows the various options that can be selected when a Value Set node is selected in the Value Set Navigator window, and the right mouse button is clicked. In each case, the menu selection starts a process to define changes to be applied to the selected value set. (NOTE: The first selection Create Value Set actually creates a value set as a child (sub-type) of the selected value set.) These selections are intended to cover all possible operations on a value set node. In aggregate, the functions provided include:
Further, in several cases, these operations are redundant or partially so. For example, both Create Value Set and Bind Concept Domain to Value Set allow a value set to be bound to a concept domain, but only in Create Value Set can one also define a new concept domain. |
Create Value Set
Delete Value Set
Add Codes to Value Set
Remove Codes from a Value Set
Update Value Set Description
Bind Concept Domain to Value Set
Add Value Set References
Although "reference" is a generic term, the only kind of value set reference included in the Vocabulary Maintenance Language, and in the underlying Access data base tables, is a parent-child relationship wherein the reference is from the parent to the child. This action will allow the user to select one or more value sets to be added as children to the parent Value Set selected in the Value Set Navigator.

Remove Value Set References
Although "reference" is a generic term, the only kind of value set reference included in the Vocabulary Maintenance Language, and in the underlying Access data base tables, is a parent-child relationship wherein the reference is from the parent to the child. This action will remove one or more parent-to-child references from the parent Value Set selected in the Value Set Navigator.
CAUTIONS:
Removing a value set reference leaves the value set and its code content in limbo. They remain part of the Code System and part of the Value Set definitions, but will not be exposed because there is no longer a parent under which they will appear. In general, a code system reference should only be removed in one of two circumstances:
For any other purpose, the Delete Value Set function is probably more appropriate. |
