About the Feature
MedDRA auto-coding was added in Vault Safety 20R1. Upgraded vaults must perform the following configuration changes to enable this feature.
To support MedDRA auto-coding, this feature adds a new combined MedDRA control to replace the previously separate reported term and MedDRA term fields. You must add this field to page layouts to enable this feature.
The new control allows users to automatically code MedDRA terms using the reported term. The following image shows the combined MedDRA control before entering a term:
