Filter coding analytics dashboard data
EDC's Coding Analytics dashboard offers an advanced filtering capability that helps you customize the data displayed in the dashboard according to your specific parameters. This ensures that you can focus on relevant information pertinent to your analysis.
In EDC, the General Setting option is a core feature that resides on the Coding Analytics dashboard toolbar. Using this feature, you can filter data by various criteria, such as countries, ages, Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) term levels, groups, and so on. Additionally, the functionality offers multiselect options to choose various criteria simultaneously. This eventually enhances granularity and aids in identifying trends or specific issues.
