What was Direct mode used for?

Direct Mode has previously been available, but since the inclusion of axioms to SNOMED CT, we cannot guarantee that this mode will works as expected. It is therefore not a recommended approach to use and that option has been removed from CRS until further notice.

In Batch Mode, a user can create a request to perform a multiple (typically) related actions
