Quick Selection of Drug Pairs from the Selection List
PECS allows you to create multiple drug pairs for an interaction at
one time. This same multi-select method allows you batch
process drug pairs for other operations such as Review, Reject, and
Delete. The process differs slightly between drug pairs created from a
corresponding
FDB interaction or using routed
generic drugs.
Drug Pairs
from Corresponding FDB Interaction
When adding FDB Drug Pairs to an interaction on the Batch Customization
page, you may select single drug pairs, groups of consecutive drug pairs,
or a combination of both.
To select single drug pairs, simply click on the corresponding checkboxes
of the drug pairs you want to select.

To select groups of consecutive drug pairs, click on the first checkbox
in the group and then shift+click on the last checkbox in the group. All
drug pairs between the first and last checkboxes will be selected. If
you wish to add another group to your selection, simply click on the first
checkbox in the second group and shift/click on the last checkbox in the
group. You will now have two groups of drug pairs selected. To
add other non-consecutive drug pairs, click on the corresponding checkbox.

Drug
Pairs from Routed Generic Drugs
To select multiple drug pairs from Routed Generic drugs
- On the Drug Pair Customization window, select Drug pair from Routed
Generic Drug lists from the Select Drug Pair(s) Source list.

- Click Edit.
- Enter all or part of a routed generic drug name in the Routed Generic
1 field. To display all routed generic drugs, enter *. The list will
populate automatically, but the process may take some time based on
server load and the specificity of the search term.
- Enter all or part of a routed generic drug name in the Routed Generic
2 field. To display all routed generic drugs, enter *. The list will
populate automatically, but the process may take some time based on
server load and the specificity of the search term.
- To select a range of routed generic drugs from the results list,
click the first item in the range, then Shift+click (click while holding
down the shift key) the last item in the range. You can use the scroll
bar on the results list if the last item in the range is not immediately
visible.

- To select non-contiguous items in the results list, click to select
the first item, then Ctrl+click (click while holding down the Ctrl
key) any additional items. You can use the scroll bar on the results
list if the last item in the range is not immediately visible. This
technique can also be used to de-select items within a previously
selected range of items.

- Click the Customize button. After processing, the new drug pairs
will appear in the Drug Pairs list. In this example, six new drug
pairs were created: each of the three selected Routed Generic 1 drugs
is now paired with the two selected Routed Generic 2 drugs.


Batch Update Drug Pairs
You can use the quick selection processes describe above to change
the actions status of multiple drug pairs at the same time. The Action
buttons available are dependent upon the action status of the selected
drug pairs. Only mutually appropriate actions will be available.
