    Code List Display Value

    This is the re-categorized display value for the code. This display value shall be based on a code list, code, and language combination.

    Add Attribute

    Enables you to add a language attribute.

    Remove Attribute

    Enables you to remove a language attribute.

    Attribute Name

    This is the language Decode context for selected code list which can have language code and other properties of code lists.

    Code

    This is the first column in the gird for all flexible code lists. This column displays the internal id for the existing 'Code' list value. For custom code list, the application always populates the code columns with system generated unique sequence value for the selected code list. It is possible for customers to provide a custom 'Code' value for any of the new rows. This value is always unique for a code list.

    <All Language Attributes>

    All the language attributes are displayed as a new column in the grid with Primary attribute being the first one after the Code column.

    Right-click > Make Primary

    Allows you to make the selected language attribute as the primary attribute. The primary attribute column is moved as the first attribute in the grid after the 'Code' column. This configuration is available every time the user opens the same flexible code list.

    Right-click > Make Preferred

    Allows you to mark the selected cell values corresponding to selected language attribute as Preferred in the database. Preferred values are displayed with an asterisk (*) in the grid for easy identification. At any given time, only one value can be marked as preferred within matching values for a language attribute.

    Export to Excel

    Enables you to export all the values of selected code list into an excel file.

    Batch Attribute Update

    A collapsible interface, this option displays the list of all attributes available for the selected code list in Flexible re-categorization screen. It also provides a text box called Code List Value, where users can enter the required display value of the code list for the selected attribute.

  2. This page is used to add new values or view existing code list values in the code lists.
  3. Click Edit. The grid cells of corresponding row become editable for all the attributes added in that code list by the user.

    On clicking Edit, a green tick mark is displayed, along with a red colored, cross icon.

    Click the green tick mark to temporarily save the grid values (until saved into database by clicking Save button). The selected row comes out of Edit mode.

    Click the red colored cross icon to discard any changes made to the selected row. The selected row comes out of Edit mode.

    On changing the value of a preferred cell, its preferred status is removed upon saving the grid values.

  4. Click Delete to allow the users to delete an entry from the flexible code lists. The Delete icon is enabled for only custom code lists, for which protected flag is set to 0 in CODE_LIST_CODE_ATTRIBUTES table. Click this icon to delete all the attribute values corresponding to the selected row from the database.
  5. The Display checkbox is checked by default (except for hidden entries), for a new row added into the flexible code list.
  6. Click Save to save all the changes made on flexible code list screen.

The following Code Lists are used/provided for BIP Aggregate Reports:

  • REPORT_TEMPLATE: This code list is used for managing various BIP report templates available in the system (OOB + Custom) and assign an Oracle Argus periodic configuration (ICH PSUR or CTPR) using which user want to execute this report template. Whenever a new report template is added in BIP, this code list should be modified for providing report template name, its path and corresponding Oracle Argus configuration.
  • ADHOC_LINE_LISTING: All the LISTNAME added in adhoc_line_listing code list are available in the UD Summaries tab of periodic reports configuration for attaching the memorized reports to a particular line listing section of periodic report. User can renames these using flexible re-categorization user interface. System provides four adhoc line listings by default which can be increased using this code list if you have more adhoc line listing sections in your report. Once configured, use Oracle Argus UI for attaching the UD summaries with line listings of your custom report.
  • SOC_DISPLAY_ORDER: Use this code list to reorder the printing of SOC in various tabulations.
  • AGGREGATE_REPORT_FORMAT: Use this code list to define the report formats which you want to use with BIP reports execution. Make sure to use only those formats which are supported by BI Publisher.
  • DOSAGE_STRING_FORMAT: This code list can used to restrict/add the dosage string formats which should be available while BIP report execution. More dosage string formats can be added with the help of custom code. The following dosage string formats are provided out of box which print values for dosage string as mentioned in the EN attribute.
