Request templates in the new Question Engine infrastructure use the common user interface for all requests. This interface includes the ability to add criteria groups to the request and a description of how criteria groups and terms within criteria groups function. This functionality and information are not applicable for all request types. For example, Summary Table queries may not use >1 criteria group.

Similarly, File Distribution, Modular Program Distribution, and SQL Distribution requests do not use criteria groups or combinations of terms.
Create separate UIs for different request types
The following UIs should be created for the following request types:
Flexible Menu-Driven Query
See Figure 1 below. No change from current interface – the buttons to add additional criteria groups and
the informational text describing how criteria groups function are present.
Pre-set Query
See Figure 2 below. The buttons to add additional criteria groups and the informational text describing
how criteria groups function are removed. Note that in the example below, the term menu is present.
There will be a separate improvement to provide a way to hide the term menu. This provides the flexibility to create pre-set queries with or without optional terms (e.g. for an ICD-9 Diagnosis Summary
Table, the user may pick from the 3-, 4-, or 5-digit ICD-9 Diagnosis term).
File Upload
See Figure 3 below. The buttons to add additional criteria groups, the informational text describing how
criteria groups function, and the Report Selector area are removed. Only the file upload controls are displayed.
Add the ability to specify the UI for a request template
A “Composer Interface” dropdown menu will be added to the Query Composer template screen. This menu will contain the three options specified above:
Flexible Menu-Driven Query
Pre-Set Query
File Upload
1.
Network Administrator creates a new request template.
2.
Network Administrator selects a composer interface from the composer interface dropdown.
3.
Network Administrator continues creating the request template and saves it.
4.
Network Administrator creates a new request type and selects the new request template.
5.
Network Administrator makes the new request type available for use within a project.
6.
