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.

  10. 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.
