After Importing | The results after importing are displayed one row per Value Meaning. All VM Match user results are kept in one database table, and without filtering results, they are all displayed in the same grid. So, after selecting "Go to Data Manager" enter your batch name and click "Apply Filter" to see just your results. |
---|---|
"User Tips" Column | The User Tips column is used by the system instead of the VM Name. Sometimes the VM Name from your form or data is not very representative of the its meaning, or consists of too many terms. If a "User Tip" is entered it is used instead of the VM Name. User Tips can be entered through the front end, or starting in Sprint 47, can be entered into the Template for each row and imported. |
Algorithm | Punctuation and spaces are removed. The "Rule Description" explains why each match was selected. The algorithm does not currently account for spelling errors. |
"Run Match" Command | Select the rows to run the match algorithm against and select the "RUN MATCH" Command. Punctuation and spaces are removed. This command will try to find Exact or Like Matches using the VM preferred name for existing VMs, Concept Preferred name and Synonyms. Click "VM Matched Results" to review recommended matches. If you do not find a desired match, select "Run VM Match Unrestricted". |
"Run VM Match Unrestricted" Command | This match searches on the longest term in addition to more extensive matches. |
"VM Matched Results " | If there is only one exact match, the system will automatically associate the matched result with the imported VM Name. If there are multiple matches the user can select a row from "VM Matched Results" and select the "Set Preferred" command. Multiple Concepts can be selected one at a time to post coordinate concepts. The system will appended the concept to the preferred concept string and generate the resulting name in the order the concepts are selected. This can be viewed by selecting the Node with the Concept Name to view the selected items. The concepts and be reordered manually, but be sure to reorder the concept names, or clear the results, "Save" and then select concepts again from the matched results. |
Advancing through the imported VMs | When on the "VM Match Header" you can advance to the next VM in your imported file by using the "Rows x of xxx" arrows. |
Column Order | The main column in VM Match is the VM Name. The processing is designed to find matching concepts based on the name and insert the Concept Name and Concept Code into the table next to the VM NAME unless "User Tips" are entered. This order of the columns makes it easier to populate the PV/VM Template using cut and paste. |
Exporting results | Use the "Delivery Options" command to export the VM Match results into and Excel file. This simplifies creating the list of PV/VMs for PV/VM Import to populate and existing Value Domain. |
