  2. Select the drop-down menu on the value set you would like to view.
  3. Select the "View" menu.
  4. The "View Value Set" screen appears, showing the meta-data about the value set, where the value set is used, and the codes/concepts included in the value set.

Concepts

The Concepts tab shows each of the codes/concepts included in the value set.

Only 20 codes/concepts are shown at a time. The paging options at the bottom of the Concepts tab appears when the value set has more than 20 codes/concepts and allows you to page through the codes/concepts in the value set one at a time, or jump to the beginning and end of the list of codes/concepts.

A search option is available where you can enter a keyword and select the "Search" button. The codes/concepts list will refresh to filter only codes/concepts that contain the specified keyword.

Relationships

The Relationships tab displays an expandable table of which implementation guides and templates/profiles use the value set. By expanding a row, you can see what constraints have a binding to the value set.
