Data Entry Rule Actions report

The Data Entry Rule Actions report runs at the study level. The report lists each data-entry rule action/locale combination in a study. Each row in the report corresponds to a supported locale for a unique rule action. For example, if a data-entry rule has two actions and two supported locales, the report would display four rows for that rule. This report does not include data for workflow rules or global conditions. The selected study must have at least one defined locale for this report to run.

The report displays each rule only once, regardless of the number of times that the study object on which it exists is used in a study. For example, a rule that is defined on an item that appears on more than one form appears once in the report.

Note:

This report contains InForm-specific study objects and is not available for studies that do not have InForm selected as one of the Deployment Systems or contain only non-InForm study objects. When you generate a report for a study that contains an invalid workflow, an error occurs, and the report cannot be run.

Running this report should not be considered a substitute for validation. Errors (or lack thereof) encountered while generating this report are not necessarily a reflection of study validity.

Note:

This report runs against data in the database. Oracle recommends that you save the study before running the report.

Study Object RefName

Study Object Title

The following information about the study object on which the data-entry rule exists:
  • RefName.
  • Title.
  • Type.

Target Form Mnemonic

Target Form RefName

Short title and RefName of the form on which the item that is the target of the rule action exists.

Note:

If the item is used on multiple forms in the study, the mnemonics and RefNames for the forms are listed and separated by semicolons.

Target Item Number

Target Item Question

Target Item RefName

Target Item Title

Number, question, RefName, and title of the item that is the target of the rule action. For example:
  • For Query actions, the item on which the query appears.

Note:

If the item is used on multiple forms in the study, the item numbers for the forms are listed and separated by semicolons.

Note:

When an item appears on only one form and is in a repeating section, therefore ending in zero, such as 2.10, the number in the Target Item Number column is enclosed in single brackets, such as '2.10'.
