Approval process

Approving FHIR resources

A user with Approver privileges can use Ontocommand to modify the syndication status of a resource. This is particularly useful for CodeSystems such as SNOMED CT which are backed by an index and cannot be sensibly pulled into Snapper. To use Ontocommand to modify the syndication status of a resource a user can:

  • enter the FHIR endpoint of the Authoring server into their browser, which will launch Ontocommand
  • select Resources from the left hand menu and find the resource in question
  • use the Synd toggle switch to change the syndication status of the resource.

Approving indexes

A user with Approver privileges can use Ontocommand to modify the syndication status of a CodeSystem index. To perform this a user can

  • enter the FHIR endpoint of the Authoring server into their browser, which will launch Ontocommand
  • select Resources from the left hand menu and find the CodeSystem in question
  • use the Synd toggle switch to change the syndication status of the CodeSystem – the same control as shown for ValueSets in the screenshot below, and all other FHIR resource types in Ontoserver
