UUIDs
Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) ensure the unique identification of components across all servers, databases, and trials.
In most cases, assignment of a UUID attribute is unnecessary. However, for certain purposes, the InForm application requires the use of specific, well-known UUIDs. For example, if you want to enable users to define patient numbers, rather than allowing the InForm application to generate them automatically, you must use well-known UUIDs for the visit, form, section, item, and text control definitions that make up the specification of the patient number data entry field.
Note: The InForm Architect application automatically capitalizes UUID strings that contain lower-case characters.
The following components require specific UUIDs:
- Conflict visit and form
- Date Of Visit item
- Enrollment form
- Patient ID form
- Patient Initials item
- Patient Number item
- Randomization
- Regulatory Documents (Reg Docs) form
- Repeating visit and reporting DOV
- Screening form
- Sequences
- Study Completion form
- Visit Report form
Additionally, the unit definitions that are included with the Base trial have predefined UUIDs that are not required but are listed in this section for reference.
