Configuring Auto Encoding

The Auto Encoding features helps you to configure your own dictionary of encoded data. Using this enables you to:

• Configure studies to use dictionaries different from the dictionaries configured using the Case Form configuration.
• Retrieve coded Events, Drugs and Events & Indications and codes from the lists associated with this section.
• Ensure that the expedited reports display the correct verbatim and coded terms.

Use the following procedure to configure Auto Encoding.

1. Click Auto Encoding to open the Auto Encoding dialog.
   
2. Select the encoding options as required for Drugs and Events & Indications. Use the items in the list to encode. For Study Encoding, go to Console > Business Configuration > Studies > Study Encoding to support Central Encoding for Events & Indications for study cases, in a similar way as for non-study cases. Checking the Central Encoding checkbox (next to the Event & Indications Checkbox) also ensures that Central Encoding also gets reflected (as configured here) in the Oracle Argus Safety Case Form, for study cases.
   
   

   

   
   
3. Select Prevent manual encoding for Events & Indications, if you want to disable manual encoding by users.
4. Select the Require event term encoding before case closure, to ensure that the expedited reports display the correct verbatim and coded terms.

   Note:

   If this feature is not selected, then the study will use the dictionaries configured using the Case Form Configuration options.

   Cases where the report type does not include clinical trial cases, will always encode with the dictionaries configured through the Case Form configuration options.

5. Select Inherit Reporting Rules From using the drop-down list to configure study-based reporting requirements.
