How can you identify the primary path of a term when loading the ASCII files into the MedDRA Desktop Browser?
If you are using the MedDRA Desktop Browser, the term icons indicate which are primary. If you select the Term Details option (by right-clicking), all of the SOCs will be displayed with the primary indicated by a blue SOC icon. In the main hierarchy displayed in the browser, blue PT icons indicate a multi-axial term shown in its primary location, green PT icons indicate a multi-axial term shown in a secondary location, and red PT icons indicate a singly occurring primary term. There is also a legend available for view in the browser in order to reference colors for primary allocation. For other applications, it will depend on how they use the data from the MedDRA ASCII files. Primary path data are contained in the Mdhier.asc file. I installed the MedDRA Desktop Browser on our corporate network and have no trouble accessing the browser from my PC. I have granted security privileges to the directory to certain others who need access to this browser. However, other people get the message
