<aname="_Toc252370689">Terms View</a>
</h2>
<p>
Use the patient Terms view, on the left side of the SHRINE window, to navigate (browse) or find (search) the medical terms on which you choose to
query. The full range of terms available for you to query is listed in this view, grouped into four main criteria:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Demographics
</li>
<li>
Diagnoses
</li>
<li>
Lab Tests
</li>
<li>
Medications
</li>
</ul>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
