Validation for coding

To be valid, a study must pass the following coding-related checks:

• A form can contain only one copy of an item.
• Items in a coding map must all be either in or not in a repeating section.
• A coding map must include at least one target item.
• A target item must be a top-level item or a child of a top-level compound item. It cannot be a child of a nested compound item and cannot be conditional on another item.
• All query target items must be:
  • Top-level items.
  • Visible and available for editing in the InForm application. Items designated as query targets must not have the Display Override property set to ReadOnly or Hidden in the Central Designer application.
• All items in a coding map, except the query target item, must be text items.
• Each coding map is valid in the dictionary type from which it was created.
• The dictionary metadata in the study CSML must be in the dictionaries that are supported in the Central Designer application.
