Throughout Empirica Signal, you have the option of selecting or typing values. For example, you might specify the value of an Event item variable by doing one of the following:
· Selecting a MedDRA term using the hierarchy browser.
· Selecting a value from a list of available values.
· Selecting a saved list of values.
· Typing a value.
To prevent spelling and capitalization errors, Oracle recommends that you select rather than type values. However, if you prefer to type values, do the following:
· Match the spelling and case of the intended values exactly.
· Separate the values using commas.
· To type a value that contains a comma, enclose the value in double quotation marks, for example, "Diabetes, Type II".
· To type a value that includes a backslash or double quotation mark, precede the backslash or double quotation mark with a backslash, for example, Cold\\flu or \"Terrible\"headache.
