Product-Event Combinations panel: The Product-Event Combinations panel is a set of tables. You access a table by clicking a Product-Event Combinations tab. Each Product-Event Combinations tab is associated with a view or alert type rule. The view or alert type rule determines the columns, rows, and sort order of the tab’s table. Each tab displays a summary line with the number of combinations, the sort order, the number of rows per page, and the page number. You can add tabs, change pages, and customize the columns.

Product-Event Combinations table

  • When you enable the default signal view feature for the signal configuration you control the view used for the Product-Event Combinations panel’s first tab.
  • The default view tab and added tabs have associated views that determine the table's columns rows and sort order. For Alert tabs, the table is defined by the Alert Type rule.
  • If the configuration is multisource, there can be columns for the Lead and Secondary configurations.
  • The first tab in the Product-Event Combinations panel is the product's default view or the signal configuration's default view when no product view is specified. No default view tab displays if the feature was disabled or no default view is specified for both the product and the signal configuration.
  • Select another tab to show the Product-Event Combinations table associated with a different tab such as the Fatal, Serious, or New product-event combinations.
  • The Status column indicates if the product-event combination has been reviewed and if there is a topic for the product-event combination.
  • The Alerts column indicates which tracked alerts relate to the product-event combination in the most recent refresh. The icon color and letter were set up when the alert type was created and match the icons in the tabs. In the example above, F stands for Fatal and D for Designated Medical Event.
  • Each tab contains the table for that alert type or signal view and reflect the current product and SOC selection. Hover over an alert tab for details about that alert type. You can add more tabs with the Plus sign icon on the right.
