Activate/Inactivate domain

The purpose of activating or deactivating a domain is to control its availability and usage within the CODING application. With this feature, coders can manage which domains can or cannot be used for coding medical terms.

  • Active domain: visible and available for coding of medical terms.

  • Inactive domain: not visible or accessible for coding purposes until reactivated.

To activate or deactivate a domain
  1. In the Medical Coding application header, select the CONFIGURATION tab.

    Important

    You cannot change the domain status to Active or Inactive if any ongoing coding activities for this domain are in progress.

    To solve the issue, wait until the coding activities are completed and try again.

Once done, the domain is either visible and available for coding (if activated) or invisible and inaccessible for coding (if deactivated).
