Compare detailed information for two concepts using the SCT Browser's Comparing Perspective.

Prerequisite steps: Browse SNOMED CT International Edition concepts


StepsReferences

From any view in the SCT Browser, press  on the Perspective button in the header menu to see a drop-down options list of available perspectives:

  • Full 
  • Comparing 
  • Comparing hierarchy 
  • Responsive (tablets, phones) 

Select Comparing to switch the presentation.

Perspective: Comparing maintains the browser header bar, but changes to show two side-by-side Concept Details panels, with a full-width Search panel below them.

The Search panel is simply an expanded full-width version of the Full Perspective Search panel, with identical features and behaviour, for the purpose of populating the two Concept Details panels.


In the Search panel, find the first concept to be compared (as described in Find the SCTID for a known concept term or Find the FSN or PT for a known concept SCTID).
In the Search Results list, press and hold the result row for the first concept to be compared. The selected row will be highlighted in blue, and a "Drag this" tooltip will appear.

Whilst holding the cursor selection, drag the selected item onto the blue details box in the left-hand Concept Details panel Summary tab. Whilst dragging, the concept FSN term will appear alongside the cursor arrow. When the cursor is over the Summary "drop-zone" a drop-target symbol will appear. Release the cursor hold to "drop" the concept.


The left-hand panel will now show the Concept Details Summary  tab for the dropped concept, and all the other context tabs can be navigated within the left-hand panel whilst maintaining the dropped concept focus.
Now use the Search panel to find the desired comparison concept, and repeat the same steps to select, drag and drop, but this time drag the comparison concept to the Summary box of the right-hand panel Concept Details.
The two Concept Details context tabs can now be navigated independently for side-by-side comparisons of the selected concept details.
