How do the Oracle Central Designer study components appear in Oracle InForm?

When you deploy a study created in the Oracle Central Designer application to the Oracle InForm application, the Oracle Central Designer study components and workflow are translated to Oracle InForm study components. The conversion to Oracle InForm study components is based on both the data definition of each study component and the layout specified for each form or item in the Oracle Central Designer application.

Oracle Central Designer study component	Corresponding Oracle InForm study component	Notes
Codelist	Radio, checkbox, or pulldown control	The following codelist specifications determine how codelist items deploy to the Oracle InForm application: Single selection—Deploys as a radio or pulldown control. Multiple selection—Deploys as a checkbox control. The Layout section of the Oracle Central Designer Options dialog box (available from the Tools > Options menu) specifies the following defaults: Automatic formatting of codelist-based controls based on the number of codelist items. Default control sizes. The layout specification in the Oracle Central Designer application determines whether a radio control is displayed vertically or horizontally. You can also use the layout specification to indicate whether a codelist is single selection, single selection with user, or multiple selection, and whether codelist items in a single-selection codelist deploy as a radio control or a pulldown control.
Codelist item	Simple control	-
Collaboration note	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Data series	Table column in CDD mapping definition. Panel item in CIS mapping definition.	-
Data set	Table in CDD mapping definition. Panel in CIS mapping definition.	The data dimensions of a data set form the key for each row of a CDD table. Data values defined as custom dimensions form pivot columns around which the data in the table is organized.
Description	No corresponding component	Study object descriptions are visible only in a Oracle Central Designer annotated study book.
Form	Form	In the Oracle Central Designer application, a form note is specified in the layout definition. The Short Title specified in the Oracle Central Designer application deploys as the form mnemonic in the Oracle InForm application. The form RefName is used in Reporting and Analysis and in CDD table columns for which no data series alias exists.
-	Alternate form	In the Oracle InForm application, an alternate form is used to collect new or changed information for those subjects who have started the original version of the form. A form containing new or changed items in a subsequent, incremental deployment deploys as an alternate form for those subjects who have started the original version of the form. Alternate forms are not created when you install an incremental deployment package that contains additions to repeating forms or itemsets.
-	Associated forms	Two forms defined as repeating and linked with the AssociatedForm property in the Oracle Central Designer application deploy as associated forms in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Common form	A form defined as a common form deploys as a common form.
-	Date of Visit form	If you do not include a special Date of Visit item in the study, a default Date of Visit form is deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
-	Dynamic form	A form for which the precondition is the outcome of a workflow rule or global condition deploys as a dynamic form in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Enrollment form	If you do not include a special Enrollment form in the study, a default Enrollment form is deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
-	Regulatory report forms and visit report forms	You can create regulatory report and visit report forms in the NonClinical container in the Project Explorer. If you do not create the forms, default versions are generated and deployed.
-	Repeating form	A form defined as repeating in the Oracle Central Designer application deploys as a repeating form in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Screening form	If you do not include a special Screening form, a default Screening form is deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Global condition	Rule	The deployment process treats a global condition as a rule and creates rule attachments, arguments, and dependencies in the Oracle InForm application as necessary based on the items referenced in the global condition definition.
Help text	CRF Help	Instructions and Help defined for forms or items in the Oracle Central Designer application deploy as CRF Help in the Oracle InForm application. Instructions and Help defined for other study objects (for example, study events) in the Oracle Central Designer application do not deploy to the Oracle InForm application.
Item	Item	Item deployment considerations: The Oracle Central Designer application includes the following custom properties for Oracle InForm deployment: Collapsible (for items)—Defaults to False in the Oracle InForm application. Collapsed items in the Oracle Central Designer application become dynamic controls in the Oracle InForm application. Display Override (for items)—Defaults to False in the Oracle InForm application. Required (for items)—Defaults to True in the Oracle InForm application. SDV Critical (for forms and items)—Defaults to False in the Oracle InForm application. SDV Required (for items)—Defaults to True in the Oracle InForm application. Special Fields (for items)—Identifies items that have a special meaning in the Oracle InForm application, including special Date of Visit and Randomization items and items that appear on special forms. Layout specifications determine how controls appear in the Oracle InForm application. For date time items, layout specifications include the specification of year ranges.
-	Date/time control	Date time items in the Oracle Central Designer application become date/time controls in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Group control	A compound item defined with child items in the Oracle Central Designer application deploys in the Oracle InForm application as a group control consisting of the child items.
-	Nested control	An item in the Oracle Central Designer application that is conditional on another item deploys in the Oracle InForm application as a nested control within the item on which it is conditional.
-	Text control	Text, integer, and float items in the Oracle Central Designer application become the appropriate text controls in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Unit	A base unit or a base unit and a single conversion unit specified in an integer, float, or yes no item definition in the Oracle Central Designer application deploy as units in the Oracle InForm application. If more than one conversion unit is selected in the item definition, the conversion units deploy in the Oracle InForm application as a radio or pulldown control, depending on the layout option selected.
Library	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Library project	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Mapping	CDD or CIS mapping definition object	-
Rule	Rule	The deployment process creates rule attachments, arguments, and dependencies in the Oracle InForm application as necessary based on the items referenced in the rule definition.
Section	Section	In the Oracle Central Designer application, a section note is specified in the layout definition. If you do not create a section for a form in the Oracle Central Designer application, a section with the same title as the form is automatically generated when the study is deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
-	Itemset	The items in a section defined as repeating in the Central Designer application are grouped into an itemset in the InForm application.
-	Repeating Data itemset	The items in a section defined as fixed and repeating in the Oracle Central Designer application are grouped into a Repeating Data itemset in the Oracle InForm application.
Short Question	Itemset column header	If a Short Question is specified, the value is used for the column header that appears in the itemset. If a Short Question is not specified, the value of the Default Question is used.
Study	Study	The study version (VERSIONDESCRIPTION attribute in Oracle InForm MedML) is a concatenation of: The Title property of the study object. The revision number of the validation baseline used to create the deployment package. An abbreviation for the locale, if the deployment package is created for multiple locales.
Study element	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Study event	Visit	The Short Title of a study event is used as the visit mnemonic in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Dynamic visit	A study event for which the precondition is the outcome of a workflow rule or global condition deploys as a dynamic visit in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Enrollment visit	A special Oracle InForm visit that must be included in the Oracle Central Designer study design. The enrollment form must belong to the enrollment visit. The enrollment visit must be a standalone visit in the study workflow. The enrollment visit must be the second visit in the workflow after the screening visit.
-	Regulatory report and visit report visits	The deployment process creates regulatory report and visit report visits.
-	Repeating visit	A study event defined as repeating in the Oracle Central Designer application deploys as a repeating visit in the Oracle InForm application.
-	Screening visit	A special Oracle InForm visit that must be included in the Oracle Central Designer study design. The screening form must belong to the screening visit. The screening visit must be a standalone visit in the workflow. The screening visit must be the first visit in the workflow and the enrollment visit must be second.
Study project	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Task	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Template	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
Type	No corresponding component	This type of study object is not deployed to the Oracle InForm application.
No corresponding component	Calculated control	You cannot create calculated controls in the Oracle Central Designer application. You can create a read-only control that serves the same purpose as a calculated control in that it uses a rule to fill in data.

Note:

Components in MedML are named based on the RefNames of study objects in the Oracle Central Designer application, with the following two exceptions:

• PFElements. The RefName from the codelist item is concatenated with an underscore and a 40-character identifier that the application creates using the RefName, code, and translations of the codelist label. If you modify the RefName, code, or codelist label, the application creates a new PFElement.
• Group controls are prefaced with "GC_" only when multiple items are conditional on the same item.
