View Types

Data extract views fall under the following categories:

• Current views display all data, including data not yet validated. The account type TEST is the same as Current, except that it uses the T test tables. Test type accounts create data extract views for provisional view definitions, while the Current account creates data extract views for active view definitions only for View Builder-enabled studies.
• Stable views display only data that has been made accessible through data entry and has been through Batch Validation. A Stable view looks the way it did after completing its last Batch Validation.
• Snapshot views display data as it looked at a particular moment in time during the data collection process. You can pick any Batch Validation run time (stability point) as the base date for a snapshot.
• Rolling Snapshots are refreshed on demand to reflect the current Stable view of the data.

Once you have defined and created the data extract views, you can submit batch jobs to create SAS datasets and SAS Proc Prints, and then analyze the data.
