PECS Home Page

Home Tab

The Home page is the first page that the user is directed to after logging into the application. This page provides information about when the last update to the First DataBank DIF database tables occurred and also when the last customization update file was created. The purpose of the Home page is to provide the user with summary counts of the number of active customization records that the user can access.

The Home page is organized into six panels. The display of a panel to the user is dependent upon the role of the user. Users in the "Requestor" role are shown only the "My Request History" panel. Users in the "Approver" role are shown all available panels. The counts are organized by the action (Review/Approve/Delete) the user can perform on the customization records for each concept type (Professional Monograph, Dose Range, Drug-Drug Interaction and Duplicate Therapy). Additionally, the Home page provides details on the status of any active customization records that the user may have entered into the system (My Request History). This allows the user to track their own requests through the approval process.

Clicking on the link to the number of records under each panel (if more than '0') will redirect the user to the Advanced Query/Customization tab with the "Build a Query" panel displaying the fields, filters and values that were queried against, in order to obtain the results showing in the "VA Table Results" panel.  The "VA Table Results" panel contains the active records that match the items for the count displayed on the Home page.
