Sequence Search Module

This module allows you to specify a required Code sequence in order to create an Event that covers the time span from the first until the last Code or your sequence.

You can specify as many Codes as you need in a predefined order.

Settings

Right-click the Module and select Settings from the context menu:

WFM_SequenceSearchExample

You can limit the search to an absolute sequence (no other Codes in-between = 0,0), or allow for any number of additional Codes in-between (-1,0), or specify a specific number of other Codes that might occur in-between each sequence item:

This example is available as a Workflow demo named MedicalTeam: Code Sequence search.

When applied to the demo file Medical team data, it results in an automatically created Event covering the time from the moment the nurse arrives until the O2 support is placed:

WFM_SequenceSearchExampleResult

Of course you can adjust this command to match your data and find any sequences you are interested in.

All relevant Basic Properties are part of the Search specific sequences dialog:

Items to examine:

oExamineElements

Determines whether all lines are used in the current module or only the selected lines (those with a green dot in front of them):

oAll : This module uses all data, existing Events and new lines created by the previous workflow modules.

oMarkedOnly : This module uses only the currently selected Events.

oNotMarkedOnly : This module uses only the currently NOT selected Events

Marking behavior:

oMarkbehavior

Determines how the line selection should be handled during the routine:

oLeaveAsIs : This module does not change the current selection of Events.

oUnmarkAll : This module clears any available selection

oMarkAll : This module selects all currently available Events

oMarkNewOnly : This module clears any previous selections and selects only the data resulting from its own operation.

oKeepExistingAndMarkNew : This module keeps the previous selection and adds the data resulting from its own operation to the selection.

Check boxes:

oMatch case

Determines whether the case of the characters should be taken into account:

False : all occurrences of the searched for characters are fou

True : only occurrences that match the specified case are found.

oForwardMarkedOnly

Determines whether all lines are forwarded to the next module or only the current selection (those with a green dot in front of them):

oFalse : This module forwards all data to the next module.

oTrue : This module forwards only currently selected Events to the next module. If no Events are selected, all Events are used.
