What is the difference between a RefName and a title?

  • RefNames are referenced in rules and are deployed to Oracle InForm. Therefore, they must:
    • Follow C# or CDASH naming standards.
    • Start with a letter or an underscore.
    • Contain only letters, numbers, and underscores.
    • Be unique within a study or library. For example, you cannot have a form and an item with RefNames of DOV in the same study or library.
  • Titles are the more readable display names for study objects. They can contain spaces and special characters, but are not referenced in rules and are not deployed to Oracle InForm.
