Data Management Rules

The majority of the Oracle Clinical data management rules are built into the functionality of the API. Nonetheless, there are a few data management rules that you must be aware of as you design your front-end application; otherwise, you may generate one or more error messages.

Five data entry modes are valid within the API. The following table describes the appropriate document status for each Log-In and Data Entry mode that the API supports.

Mode	Status
Initial Log-In	RECEIVED
Key Changes	RECEIVED, P1 STARTED, P1 COMPLETE
Update/Browse	P1 STARTED, P1 COMPLETE
P1 (First Pass)	RECEIVED, P1 STARTED, P1 COMPLETE only if document is not accessible and the operator is the person who created the document

Note that the Data Capture API does not support Pass 2. However, in some cases the status does change:

• If you update an RDCM in status PASS 2 STARTED or PASS 2 COMPLETE, the document is opened in UPDATE mode and after a save, the status of the document (RDCM and RDCI) remains unchanged.
• However, if you update an RDCM in status PASS 2 PENDING, then after a save, the RDCM status changes to PASS 2 COMPLETE. If all RDCMs in the RDCI are PASS 2 COMPLETE, then the RDCI status is also updated to PASS 2 COMPLETE.
