Unique identifier that is assigned automatically to the configuration. |
Name |
Name of the configuration. |
Description |
Description supplied for the configuration. |
Database Group |
Name of the database group to which the configuration is assigned. Results reviewers can use the database group when finding and selecting a data mining run. The application also uses the database group when determining color changes for case ID links that are visited by users. |
Owner |
Full name associated with the username that created the configuration. |
Table |
Name of the Oracle table containing the specification of the configuration. |
Drill Down Map Table |

Timestamped |
YES, if the configuration supports timestamped data. NO, if the configuration does not support timestamped data. |
Drug Hierarchy Account (or Drug Hierarchy Version Table) |
Name of the Oracle account that drug variables with a selection type of Select from Drug Browser in the configuration use for hierarchical values. For timestamped configurations, name of the table that stores one or more valid hierarchy accounts by date. |
Event Hierarchy Account (or Event Hierarchy Version Table) |
Name of the Oracle account that event variables with a selection type of Select from Event Browser in the configuration use for hierarchical values. For timestamped data, name of the table that stores one or more valid hierarchy accounts by date. |
Includes Concomitant Drugs |
YES, if the configuration includes suspect and concomitant drugs. NO, if the configuration includes suspect drugs only. Results reviewers can use this information to find a data mining run. |
