Default labeling

Default labels for clinical report elements come from properties that are established in the study design code. Study designers specify different pieces of information to identify each form, itemset, or control in your study. The InForm application retrieves the text in these properties and uses it for default labeling of the clinical report elements.

The InForm application creates default labels for elements that appear in the Clinical Data by Forms folder as follows:

optional prefix~ control reference~ item reference

Note: You cannot customize report element names.

Report labeling

Report element label portion	Description
optional prefix	The type of element: None Code Unit Unit Code Normalized Date Time Month Yr YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MM:SS Month Year
control reference	Text that identifies the specific control for the item. Controls other than checkboxes—The InForm application uses the following properties: Caption property for the control, if it exists. RefName property for the control, if no caption exists. Checkboxes—The InForm application uses the following properties: Label property of the child control element, if it exists. Caption property of the child control element, if no label exists. RefName property for the child control element, if no label or caption exists.
item reference	Text that identifies the item as it appears in the study. The InForm application uses the following properties: Itemset Column Header property for the item, if it exists and is not the default. Question property for the item, if no itemset column header exists.

control reference

Text that identifies the specific control for the item.

Controls other than checkboxes—The InForm application uses the following properties:
- Caption property for the control, if it exists.
- RefName property for the control, if no caption exists.
Checkboxes—The InForm application uses the following properties:
- Label property of the child control element, if it exists.
- Caption property of the child control element, if no label exists.
- RefName property for the child control element, if no label or caption exists.

item reference

Text that identifies the item as it appears in the study. The InForm application uses the following properties:

Itemset Column Header property for the item, if it exists and is not the default.
Question property for the item, if no itemset column header exists.

Note: Study designers should make sure that Itemset Column Header definitions (values of the Central Designer Short Question property on items in a repeating section) are unique within a study. If there are duplicate Itemset Column Header values in a study, the Reporting and Analysis module appends each value with a suffix to uniquely identify it. For example, if two itemsets share the Itemset Column Header VSItemset, the Reporting and Analysis module identifies them as VSItemset and VSItemset~1.
