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.

To filter the coding analytics dashboard data
  1. In the EDC application header, select the DASHBOARD tab.

  2. On the page that opens, go to the Coding Analytics tab and from the workspace toolbar, select General Setting setting_icon_gray.png.

    From the dropdown menu, select the needed value to filter the coding analytics dashboard data based on specific terms from MedDRA.

    For example, selecting LLT (Lowest Level Term) value filters the dashboard data based on the symptoms or conditions classified at this level, such as nausea.
