Manually code a term

  1. Open a case.
  2. Select Events.
  3. In the Event Information section, under Description as Reported, enter the term to code exactly as it was reported and then press the Alt+Tab keys on your keyboard.

    If autocoding did not find a coding for your term, the MedDRA Browser dialog box opens.

  4. In the MedDRA browser dialog box, perform the following:
    1. In the LLT field, refine the description of your search term using a wildcard character (%), an alternative term, or a company-specific synonym that matches your term, and then press the Alt+Tab keys on your keyboard.

      Tip:

      To view a specific LLT, click the LLT entry.
    2. To print the selected coding as a PDF report, press Print.
    3. To accept the current LLT selection as the coding for your term, double-click the LLT selection or press Select.
  5. To update the autocoded term, click Encode, and select the term from the results. You can also refine your search for more options.

    Note:

    When Smart Event Encoding is disabled, the search results appear based on the text match in alphabetical sort order. When Smart Event Encoding is enabled, the search results appear based on the terms ranked by the Smart Event Coding algorithm.

The coding details for your term appear in the Event Coding section.
