Reporting Rules Evaluation for Special Reports
When the reporting rules engine runs on a Case with a value in the Special Report Classification field, the Case details are compared against the following PMDA rules:
| Rule | Special Report Classification |
|---|---|
| INV - 15day - Research/Safety Measure | Research Report, Safety Measure |
| PMK - 15day - Safety Measure | Safety Measure |
| PMK - 30day - Research | Research Report |
Review the PMDA ICSR Reporting Rule Set version 3.0 for more details on the reporting rule parameters and Transmission generation.
Note: When the Special Report Classification rule parameter is set to No, the rule is evaluated when the Special Report Classification field is blank. When evaluating reporting rules, Cases with Special Report Classification values are always excluded unless the Special Report Classification rule parameter is specified in the Safety Rule Set.
