The full range of terms available for you to query is listed in this view, grouped into four main criteria: Demographics Diagnoses Lab Tests Medications Each of the main criteria contains multiple categories that are displayed in subfolders, which contain more-specific terms by which you can refine your query. As you navigate through the subfolders and locate a term or category that you choose to include in your query, drag that entry to the Query Tool and drop it in a Group column to add it to your query criteria. You can select term folders, subfolders, or discrete terms to add to your query. If a term category maps to more than 120 specific terms, you cannot use that category in the Query Tool. You must expand it and select a more specific term to use. This is an indication that the query would take too long to process.
