Searching for Terms in Dictionaries

You can search your form’s coding dictionary from the Coding panel’s Dictionary Search field. In the search results, Vault lists the preferred name variations for a Drug Name. In the image below, a user searched for “Lidocaine”, which yielded codes with the preferred Drug Name “Lidocaine” at the top of the results.

When you search for a term, Vault Coder searches the coding dictionary associated with the Form you’re currently viewing. For example, if you are viewing a Code Request on an “Adverse Events” form, which uses the MedDRA dictionary, Vault Coder would search the MedDRA dictionary.

How to Search

To search for a term in a coding dictionary:

1. Navigate to the Code Request Listing page.
2. Click on a Code Request to open it in the Coding panel.
3. Enter your search phrase in the Dictionary Search field.
4. Optional: Select Column checkboxes to include those columns in your search.
5. Press Enter or click Search.
6. Vault searches the appropriate coding dictionary. You can now sort and filter your results.

Viewing Your Search Results

Coder remembers your filters, as well as the columns you choose to display and their order. If you navigate away and return to this page, your filters will still apply. However, Coder does not remember any sorting applied to the results.

Filter Your Search Results

To narrow, expand, or change the scope of your dictionary search results, select or clear checkboxes in Search Columns. Select a column’s checkbox to include that column. Clear or don’t select a column to exclude that column from your search.

Sort your Search Results

By default, search results are ordered by relevance. You can choose to sort your results alphabetically by any of the displayed columns.

Click on a column header to sort by that column in reverse alphabetical order (Z to A). Click a second time to sort in alphabetical order (A to Z).

Sorting applies to all search results, but the Coder page only displays up to 50 result records at a time. Reload your browser to clear sorting.

Select Columns to Display for Your Results

You can choose which columns are displayed in the Dictionary subtab:

1. Open the Dictionary subtab in the Coding panel.
2. Click the Actions menu (). Vault opens the Select Columns to Display dialog.

3. Double-click on columns in the Available Columns section, or click the Arrow buttons, to move columns into the Displayed Columns section. Columns in the Displayed Columns section display in the Dictionary subtab.

4. Optional: Click Restore defaults to switch back to the default column display.
