Search Parameters are pretty straight forward. Set your date ranges for both Literature, and Adverse Events, as well as the Search Results Limit.
This value is the upper limit of results that the system will import for any given search. For example, if Max Hits is set to 500, a search of size 1000 will be excluded when uploaded.
Select the Databases you will ultimately be searching (Clinical and Adverse Event Databases)
Notice that each database has a label for Automatic or Manual collection.
Automatic Collection - We can search, download results, and process them for you full automatically.
Manual Collection - We can process the results, but you will have to go to the database and perform the search yourself, and then upload the results to the CiteMed app.
