Add an item to a data series by selecting a study event or form

At the study event level, you indicate whether the item is mapped to the data series only when it appears on a specific study event or form.

  1. In the Project Explorer, select the form or study event containing the item to be added to a data series.
  2. Select the Data Series Summary tab.
    If a form is selected, its items appear in the grid.
    If a study event is selected, its forms appear in the grid.
  3. Optionally, to change your view of the grid, use the filters at the top of the grid.
  4. In the item's row in the grid, click the cell in the column for the data series to which you want to add the item.

    Note:

    If the item cannot be added to the data series—for example, if the data types for the item and data series are not compatible—None compatible appears in the cell.
  5. Click the drop-down arrow at the right end of the cell, and select one of the following options from the list:
    • None—The item is not added to the data series.
    • Always—The item is always mapped to the data series, on every form, in every study, and in the library.
    • Form—The item is mapped to the data series only when the item appears on a specific section (or form, if the form has no sections). You can select this option for multiple sections or forms.
    • Study Event—(Available only when a study event is selected.) The item is mapped to the data series only when it appears on any form in a specific study event. You can select this option for multiple study events.
    • Study Event & Form—(Available only when a study event is selected.) The item is mapped to the data series only when it appears on a specific form in a specific study event.
  6. If you selected a data series that has custom dimensions, select a value for each custom dimension, or, if providing a user-defined value is allowed, type a value for each custom dimension.
    If the item is an integer or float, you can map the normalized value, entered value, or entered unit to the data series.

    Note:

    You can create one data series for each type of value, so you can map the item to three data series (one for each representation of the unit).
  7. For an integer or float item with a selected unit, select the item representation to map to the data series. You have the following options:
    • Normalized value
    • Entered value
    • Entered unit
  8. Optionally, add the item to more data series, or add other items to data series.
