Map Manager Candidates Tab
Use the Candidates tab to view Symedical-generated target term candidates and manage source term mappings. Within the grid, a candidate is returned as either a recommended candidate or an additional candidate. A candidate’s recommended status as well as the position in which it is returned within a list of candidates is determined by the algorithm that made the match, the order in which the algorithm was processed during analysis, and the presence of any “preference” indicators associated to the target term. This ensures that the most relevant and precise matches appear at the top of each list.
To access, in Map Manager, move the split bar to expand the Candidates pane and then click the Candidates tab. Click 
to orient the split bar to the right-hand side or the bottom of the window.

Special — Presence of icon indicates use of paranyms (or Special Logic use), and/or hypernyms and infernyms in the map candidates (orange donut = paranym logic, green donut = hypernym/infernym logic, orange and green donut = both). |

Best Match — Displays the name of the algorithm or the enrichment rule used to generate mapping candidates. |
|
11 |
Match Details — Displays the qualifier text from the reference map link used to generate the candidate when the best match is based on a reference map. When best match is based on weighted characteristic or n-gram algorithms, the overlap or similarity value used in returning the candidates is displayed. For an alias match, the alias is displayed in this format: <alias type> / <language>. |

Additional Candidates — Displays additional potential candidates identified by map analysis. |
to run analysis on the original term and return target map candidates. Update Candidates analyzes the term against all algorithms. 
to map the target term to the selected source terms. The resulting green option indicates that the source and target terms are mapped.
to remove the selected term from the source and target term mapping. The resulting clear option next to the target term indicates that the source and target terms are no longer mapped. 
indicates target term has been retired.
indicates the term is ideal for tie-breaking (or is preferred).
indicates the term was chosen with tiebreaker logic. See the
