Link to NOT_APPLICABLE docs in Shiny app UI.

While reviewing our most recent, DQD v2.6, results. I came across some new checks with wording that might be misinterpreted by users reviewing the checks.

The checks have DQD STATUS = "NOT APPLICABLE".

The error message states the data are "missing". This is a little nit picky, but missing Implies the data should be there. However, these fields are not required. And we have purposely not populated the field (i.e. Payer_Plan_Period.sponsor_concept_id) since we do not have these data. I would suggest "missing" be replace by "not present".

Hi @MelaniePhilofsky ! Could you please clarify which error message you're referring to?

The NOT_APPLICABLE status is designed for the scenario you're describing - these are checks that can be disregarded because a column or table is not populated. Docs have more info: https://ohdsi.github.io/DataQualityDashboard/articles/CheckStatusDefinitions.html#not-applicable

Thank you for the quick reply! The documentation is very helpful. I’ll close this issue since the documentation fully explains the STATUS = ‘NOT APPLICABLE”.Is there a way we can link each DQD check result with the documentation explaining the error?Cheers,MelanieOn May 25, 2024, at 9:36 AM, Katy Sadowski ***@***.***> wrote: Hi @MelaniePhilofsky !

That's a good idea, Melanie. I'll keep this issue open and pull it into work for the upcoming release which is focused on documentation.
