Drug Comments page

In this section ShowHide

Comments can be added to drug-event combinations when you are documenting your review for one or multiple combinations.

For each drug, the Drug Comments page shows the count of each different comment type that has been entered for that drug in combination with any event. Only the most recently entered comment for each drug-event combination is included in each count.

If the signal configuration is integrated with topics, the Drug Comments page shows the count, per drug, of topics associated with drug-event combinations in each different topic workflow state.  

If the signal configuration has the private comments feature set up, counts appear for either public comments added by any user or the private comments that you have entered. Only the most recently entered comment, either public or private as selected, for each drug-event combination is included in the count. (For a superuser, the counts of private comments include only the most recent private comments you personally entered, not private comments entered by any user.)

You can also view all or a subset of the detailed comments entered for a drug from the Drug Comments page.

General activities

The following filters appear at the top of the page and affect the entire page.

• Group
• Reviewer
• Drug

You can limit the drugs that appear in the table by using the filters. You can set user preferences for default values to appear in the Group, Reviewer, and Drug filters. If you select a drug Group, the Reviewer and Drug filters are affected as follows:

• In the Reviewer filter, you can select reviewers assigned to drugs in the specified drug group.
• In the Drug filter, you can only select drugs in the specified drug group. If  you specify a reviewer, only drugs to which that reviewer is assigned and drugs from drug-event combinations to which that reviewer is assigned displays.

To include all drugs, in the Group, Reviewer, or Drug filters, select —.  You can also specify None.

The following links appear at the top of the page and affect the entire page:

• Columns
• Print 
• Download
• Select Rows

You can set your user preference, Allow SQL WHERE Clause on Signals Tab, to allow use of a SQL WHERE clause to restrict the rows that appear on the page. If this preference is checked, the Columns and Rows link replaces the Columns link.

If you use a SQL WHERE clause to restrict the rows that appear on the page, refer to the names of columns in the underlying database table, which might not be the same as the column names that appear on the page. To include a column in the SQL WHERE clause, click Show Columns in the Columns and Rows dialog box and click the column name.

The following links appear at the top of the page when the page is in the Select Rows mode. The links affect the selected drug comments:

• Print
