Create tables from a file

You can create tables from a ZIP file that contains one or more text metadata (.mdd) files, one for each table. For the required syntax, see Required syntax for metadata files.

• SAS Transport (CPort or XPort) files.
• A ZIP file that contains one SAS dataset.
• A ZIP file that contains one or more text metadata (.mdd) files, one for each table. Metadata files are the only way to create tables with all blinding attributes set; see Required syntax for metadata files.

1. Click the Study Configuration icon from the navigation bar. Then click the Clinical Data Models tab.

2. Select the model and click Check Out.

   Tip:

   If the Check Out option is not active, you cannot check out the model because it is already checked out or you do not have the required privileges. To see who checked it out, look at the Checked Out By value at the left of the gray values near the top of the page. You may need to click the >> icon.

3. Click the Modify icon in the Data Model pane.

4. For Metadata Source, select Load from File.

5. Click Choose File.

6. Click Open.

   The system creates one table per .mdd file.
