Data Set Properties dialog box—Field descriptions

In the Data Set Properties dialog box, you can define the name and description of a data set and choose the standard dimensions that you want to create for the data set. You have the option of defining custom dimensions for the data set, as well.

Field		Description

Title		Title of the data set.
RefName		RefName of the data set.
Description		Description of the data set.
Alias		Alias for the data set. If an alias is present, it is used as the column name in the customer-defined database (CDD) or as the Clintrial item name in CIS mappings. If an alias is not present, the RefName is used as the column header. Because RefNames must be unique throughout a study, you must create an alias if the RefName is used by a study object. Data series aliases must be unique within a data set. Checking for RefName and alias uniqueness is case insensitive; for example, the names BP and bp are considered identical.
