Hand Pick a Subset

These instructions describe how to hand pick a subset. The Hand Pick a Subset option allows you to create a subset of cases by manually entering the accession number for each case you want to include in a subset. You can also manually add cases to an already existing subset using the Hand Pick a Subset feature.

From the RMCDS Main Menu click on Subsets > Hand Pick.

This will open the Hand Pick a Subset Window

At the top of this window you have the option to Create a new subset or Append on to an existing subset.

To Create a New subset, click on the radio button next to Create a new subset and then enter a name for the subset in the box labeled Subset:

To add cases to an already existing subset click the radio button next to Append on to an existing subset, enter the name of the subset you want to append to in the box labeled Subset, and click on the Import Subset button. The cases that are in the existing subset will then appear in the selection table.

Adding Cases
To add cases to the Hand Picked subset, type in the ACCESSION NUMBER and SEQUENCE into the box labeled Acc # Seq: After you have typed in the accession and sequence number, click on the Add Case button. The case will be added to the Selection Table.

Continue adding cases to the Selection Table until you have entered all the cases you want for this subset.

If you want to remove a case from the Selection table, double click on the Acc # Seq for that case.

A box will open asking if you want to remove this case from the subset. To remove this case, put a check in the REMOVE this case box and click on OK.

When you are done adding cases, click on the Finish button. The Hand Picked subset will be generated and you will return to the RMCDS Main Menu.

 

[If you are appending to a subset you will get a message asking you if you want to replace the original subset that you loaded with the subset containing the changes you made, or if you want to keep the original subset the same and create a new subset with changes you made. Click the appropriate radio button and add a new name if applicable.

Click OK to generate the subset and return to the RMCDS Main Menu.]
