Adding DCMs

You can enter the DCMs to include in a copy group by selecting Copy Groups from the Definition menu, then choosing Copy Groups, clicking the Copy Groups Details button, and the DCMs button.

This following list describes the validation rules for adding DCMs to a copy group:

• If copying all subsets is specified, all subsets in the source DCM must be active or the copy procedure will abort.

• If a DCM with the same name exists in the target domain, Oracle Clinical allows the copy to proceed only if it is functionally equivalent to the DCM being copied. Functional equivalency is defined as:

  • Same Qualifying Question, if any

  • Same named DCM Question Groups with the same repeat value

  • Same name, short name, and subset names

  • Same Question (or occurrence) numbers in DCM Questions for each group with the same settings for Collected_in_study_flag, Derived_flag, and DVG_ID.

Depending on the setting of the Base Subset Only? field, either just Subset 1, Layout 1, or all subsets and layouts of a DCM are copied. Additionally, all child objects of the DCM are copied.
