# Known Issues

The following are known issues and workarounds provided in the following
format:

\[GForge Tracker# XX: Summary\]

\[Issue Detail\]

\[Workaround\]

\# 3689: Duplicate PV is created when adding Qualifiers to VM

A duplicate Permissible Value is created when one or more Qualifiers are
added to the Value Meaning.

When the Permissible Value being edited is associated to a Case Report
Forms, tool is not able to replace that PV with new Value Meaning. First
remove the association of the PV with the Form and then edit the Value
Domain to remove the PV.

#3703: CSI Results are missing the CS Version Number

Classification Scheme's version is not displayed in the Class Scheme
Item's search results.

No Workaround and No Data Loss.

#3701: No control of Primary Concept on a VM

When creating a new Permissible Value or editing an existing one by
adding or removing of the concepts, unable to change the Primary Concept
directly without removing the qualifiers.

Removing all concepts and re-adding them in the desired order is only
the workaround for this problem. The first concept added to the list is
the Primary Concept.

#3702: Missing VM Search during Edit

It is not possible to search for existing Value Meaning while editing an
existing Permissible Value.

Use Create new Permissible Value link to add an existing Value Meaning.
Remove the old Permissible Value.

#3646: Add the ability to Remove All PVs

Unable to select all Permissible Values and remove at once during Value
Domain edit.

No other workaround except remove one Permissible Value at a time.

#3506: Curation/Block Version/Alt Name/Definition appears multiple times

Alternate Name/Definition is added multiple times depending on how many
ACs are in the block edit and version.

No Workaround and No Data Loss.

#3514: Business Rule not enforced - use NCI concept when present

When selecting concepts from EVS, if the concept exists in multiple
sources, the Curation Tool is not selecting the NCI Thesaurus concept.

Some terms from other vocabularies do not have any relationship to the
Thesaurus vocabulary. With the current API, the tool will not be able to
get its equivalent term from Thesaurus for these concepts.

#3526: Need a \"More\>\>\" link in the CD column Search results

Data in Conceptual Domain column in Value Meaning search does not match
the Conceptual Domain filter.

No Workaround. Tool displays only one CD. It should display More\>\>
link to view all CDs associated with the Value Meaning

#3528: Sort by Vocabulary not working for search PV

Sorting by Vocabulary is not working on Permissible Value search.

No Workaround and No Data Loss.

#3800: Attributes missing from Validation page

Validate Page for Value Domain edits do not display all the attributes
if followed the below path. Select Value Domain to edit  click
Permissible Value tab  click Clear button  click Validate.

Go back using Back button  click Value Domain tab  click Validate.
This will bring back all the attributes of the Value Domain.

#3468: Search screen is not reset when Browser closed without Logout

Search screen is not reset to the default AC search when Browser is
reopened after closing the tool without Logout.

No Workaround and No Data Loss.

#3434: Reference Document changes lost

During block edit, if a user makes changes to reference documents and
any other attribute, the reference document changes fail to be written
to the database.

Workaround - to make block edit changes to ref docs, be sure that is the
only change that is made during the block edit.

#1169: Selecting "More \>\>" terminates a search in progress

If a user initiates a second search while previous search results are
still displayed, the user can click "More \>\>" link in the previous
search results. However, this action terminates the second search while
leaving the "Searching, please wait..." message and hourglass-cursor
displayed.

Avoid clicking a "More \>\>" link after initiating any search. If the
link is inadvertently clicked, click the main menu Search button to
begin another search. Avoid initiating a search before the screen has
refreshed completely. If the error is displayed (will either be a pop-up
message or just text in the lower left corner of the IE window), click
the main menu Search button and start again.

#1170: Dynamically update the cached Conceptual Domain pick-list

In order to maximize tool performance, the Curation Tool builds
pick-lists when the session is initiated. One of these is the Conceptual
Domain list for searching Value Meanings. If a Conceptual Domain is
created in the caDSR Admin Tool while the Curation tool is open, this
Conceptual Domain will not be present in the Conceptual Domain pick list
on the search Value meaning screen.

Logout, close the window, open a new session and restart the CDE
Curation Tool.

#149: Advanced Search changes the AC selections

Administered Components selected for Block Edit are re-selected after
visiting the Block Edit screen if the results screen refreshes while the
same result set is still present. E.g. click Advanced search.

Manually un-select/ select the desired Administered Components.

#540: Display delay when \>3000 PV\'s

Submitting an enumerated Value Domain with a large number of Permissible
Values (\>3000) may not have all of the Permissible Values represented
on the Edit screen until the process is completed. The Submit takes an
extra long time and can result in a \"Page cannot be displayed\" screen.
Searching for the Value Domain to Edit just after this will show a sub
total of the expected Permissible Values present. Subsequent searches
over time (within an hour or so) will show a larger and larger number of
Permissible Values present until the expected number is present. It is
as if the process is continuing \"behind-the-scenes\". Manually run
Sentinel Reports will not include this Value Domain (assuming it is
being Monitored) until the process is complete.

No workaround. If desired, monitor progress by opening Value Domain in
an Edit screen and examine the number of Permissible Values listed.

#637: Navigation blocked by IE Browser Privacy settings

Cannot navigate in the Curation Tool if Windows XP IE Browser Privacy
settings block all cookies.

Change the settings to "Medium" by selecting Internet Options from the
IE Browser's Tools menu; selecting the Privacy tab, setting the bar to
Medium, and clicking OK.

#741: No results from Meta when filter limit is "500" or "750"

No results from the Metathesaurus will be returned when the Meta Limit
filter is set to "500" or "750" if the search term is likely to return
more than 500 results from the Metathesaurus. Results from the
Metathesaurus are always returned when the default "100" or the manually
selected "250" are used.

No Workaround. A narrower search term should be used. The user may also
find the desired Concept by searching in the Metathesaurus Browser
(http://ncimeta.nci.nih.gov/indexMetaphrase.html) directly, then
searching for the exact Concept in the Curation Tool.

#781: Concept Names containing \"+\" return full list of caDSR concepts

Some EVS Concepts have a plus-sign (+) in their name and are part of a
dozen or more Subconcepts. A search will be conducted when this type of
Concept Name is clicked in the EVS Tree, but instead of the desired
concept being returned, the entire list of caDSR concepts are returned.
An Example is LOINC\'s \"(ACACIA+EUCALYPTUS+MELALEUCA+OLIVE TREE+PINE
WHITE+WILLOW) AB.IGE(1)\".

Copy the desired Concept Name from the tree and conduct a Term search
using its name.

# External Known Issues

The following are known issues external to and affecting the CDE
Curation Tool.

Using only a wildcard by itself during an EVS search will prevent EVS
results from being returned.

Avoid using a "\*" in the search term field.

The "Set Meta Returns Limit" filter resets to "100" after a search is
conducted.

Select the desired Metathesaurus returns limit before conducting another
search.

The "." acts as a wildcard during the NCI Metathesaurus portion of an
EVS search. Since the standard wildcard for searches in the Curation
Tool is "\*", this can inadvertently cause the search string to be
truncated. (E.g., "123.4\*" would be searched as "123." for the
Metathesaurus portion of a search.)

Do not include "." in search terms.

Date picker calendars can display too large inside the default display
window size if the IE Browser Text Size is set higher than Medium.

Expand the Date Picker window to make it large enough to see all the
dates or change the Text Size through the IE View/ Text Size menu.
Select Medium to Smallest to ensure the entire calendar displays inside
the default display window size.

Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2^®^ has a pop-up window blocker
engaged by default. This can interfere with some success messages
produced by the CDE Curation Tool; preventing them from being displayed.

Follow these steps to allow the CDE Curation Tool to display the success
messages blocked by SPII' s Pop-up Blocker:

1.  Select "Internet Options..." from the browser's "Tools" menu.

2.  Select the "Privacy" tab.

3.  Click the "Settings" button in the "Pop-up Blocker" area.

4.  Copy and paste this URL into the "Address of Web site to allow"\
    [http://cdecurate.nci.nih.gov](http://cdecurate.nci.nih.gov/)

5.  Click the "Add" button on the "Pop-up Blocker Settings" window.

6.  Click the "Close" button on the "Pop-up Blocker Settings" window.

7.  Click the "OK" button on the "Internet Options" window.
