Description | Description of the data series in the data set. |
Alias |
Alias for the data series. 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. |
