Authoring

To enter editing mode and access functionalities related to authoring, click on the button in the upper right corner of the selected Concept Map's content page.

Users have the option to view Concept Map content either in Table View , or in Focus View .

You can easily switch between the two views by pressing the corresponding buttons next to the Target Code System filter bar.

Table View

Accessing editing mode takes users to the Table View by default.

This view organizes mappings in a table with the source part (codes and terms) on the left side, and the target part (codes and terms) on the right side.

When creating a new Concept Map, the target side is always empty.

The Target Code System is available as a built-in terminology browser in a separate section on the right-hand side of the page. To find the desired target concepts, users can browse the hierarchy manually, or use the filter search on top of the hierarchy. Once the target concept is located, adding it to a mapping can easily be accomplished with drag and drop.

Start dragging the selected concept and you will see a dotted line around the possible target areas.

Once the target concept is added, the Relation can be specified using the at the end of the cell.

The default relation type is Equivalent. This can be modified to one of the following: Broader, Narrower, or Inexact.

You can also select Unmapped or Not mappable, but keep in mind that these will remove the previously selected target concept.

Focus View

Switching to the Focus View inserts a middle section where more details about the selected mapping are visible. Users can add multiple relation types to a source code pointing to different targets, creating one-to-many mappings with that. It is also possible to add multiple mappings of the same relation type.

Adding multiple targets will generate new rows in the mapping table.

If you select a source concept that has multiple targets, all relating lines will be selected in the table to provide a better overview and ensure displaying them in the Focus View.

Besides the ability to add multiple targets, the Focus View offers some additional options as well.

For example, this is where Not mappable property can be selected for a source concept without having to add a target concept first.

To select Not mappable , press . Note, that this will remove all previously mapped targets.

To clear all previously mapped targets at once, press .

In addition to the above, the Focus View also has a Suggestions section where potential target concepts are listed based on lexical match.

You can drag and drop concepts to any of the target fields from the Suggestions section as well.
