Item report elements

The Items report topic contains elements and measures that provide metrics and status information about items on forms in the study. Use this report topic to include counts of different item types, information about item properties, and information on when items were initially created and changed.

• Items may be set to some states more than one time. For these states, First and Last date report elements appear in the InForm Ad Hoc Reporting tree. Use these report elements to identify when an item moved from one state to another, as follows:
  • Use Last dates to determine the current status for an item and the date on which the status change occurred.
  • Use the First and Last dates together to identify items that were, but are no longer in a given state. You can also use these dates to identify items that changed after being assigned a given state. For example, you can compare the Last Modified Date to the Last SV date to see whether the form was changed after it was last source verified.
• If an item has been in a particular state only one time, the First and Last dates for that state display the same date.
• If an item has never been assigned a particular status, the columns for the First and Last dates for that state do not contain data.
