About Special Listings

Using the Oracle Thesaurus Management System (TMS), your sponsor configures and customizes special listings for RDC Onsite by mapping CRF questions to a dictionary in TMS.

The types of special listings available in RDC Onsite are based on verbatim terms. Verbatim terms require codification in TMS. Adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medications (ConMeds) are types of verbatim terms, but your installation may include other types as well.

Although the CRF questions are mapped to dictionaries, the full name of the special listing also includes the name of the CRF section that includes the mapped question.

By default, the name of a special listing uses the following format:

TMS-Dictionary-Name/CRF-Section-Name

For example, MedDRA/AES.

In addition, when you view the list of available special listings from the Home page or the Casebooks page, RDC Onsite precedes the name with the word Review. For example, you may see the following entries:

• Review MedDRA/AES
• Review WHO/ConMeds

Finally, your sponsor can further customize the name of a special listing by substituting the dictionary name for a text string that may be more meaningful to you. For example:

• Review Adverse Events/AES
• Review Concomitant Meds/ConMeds
