Steps​

1. Open the valueset​

  4. To find the valueset by name, enter the name in the Search ValueSets box.
  5. Select Edit on the row of the valueset.

Note: Care marks some valuesets as system-defined. These valuesets come with Care, and other parts of Care depend on them. Care shows View in place of Edit on these rows. Do not change a system-defined valueset.

Do this step only when you no longer use the valueset.

  1. Set Status to Retired.
  2. Select Save ValueSet.
