VocApp-ValSetChanges/ValSetMenu

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: Create or Delete a Value Set; Add or Remove codes from a Value Set; Bind, but not unbind the Value Set to a Concept Domain; and Add or Remove references from the Value Set to child value sets 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.
