Different ways to set up data mappings

Consider a study in which a weight value is collected for every subject. To group all weight information, you have several options:

• If a single weight item appears on multiple forms, you can add a weight item to a weight data series.
• If multiple weight items appear in the study, you can:
  • Add all weight items to a weight data series.
  • Add one or several weight items to multiple weight data series.

If you create three data series (one for each value type), you can map a different value type to each data series.

Tip:

To see the mappings at a glance, use naming conventions to indicate the data series used for the different value types. For example, for the weight data series, create the following data series: Weight_Normalized, Weight_Entered, and Weight_Units.
