Activate/Inactivate data processing rule

Activating or inactivating data processing rules is a crucial part of managing your data processing workflows. This functionality helps you control whether specific rules are operational or temporarily inactive based on current needs. By activating a rule, you ensure it is applied during the data processing phase, directly influencing how data is transformed before coding. Conversely, inactivating a rule permits you to temporarily turn it off without removing it from the system, providing flexibility for testing or adapting to changing requirements.

To activate or inactivate a data processing rule

  1. In the Medical Coding application header, select the CONFIGURATION tab.

Once done, the data processing rule's status is updated to either Active or Inactive. If activated, the rule can be applied to data processing tasks, ensuring the specified transformations or validations are executed. If inactivated, the rule is temporarily disabled but remains in the system for future use.
