What are the requirements for coding components?

  • A verbatim (the item to code) and its target and context items must be on the same form.
  • If a form has a repeating section, all items referenced in the coding map must all be either in the repeating section or outside the repeating section.
  • All verbatims, context items, and target items must be text items. Query target items do not need to be text items.
  • You can map each verbatim to only one coding dictionary. For example, to code to both Japanese and English dictionaries for the same item on the form, you must create two verbatims on the form.
  • You can designate an item as a query target for only one verbatim.
  • If you select a query target item for a coding map, you can only deploy the study to a version of the InForm application that supports coding query targets. For more information, see the InForm documentation.
