Date of Visit
Form aging and cycle time reports show the amount of time it takes for data to be captured throughout various steps of the electronic data entry process. These calculations begin with the date of visit (DOV).
In trial design code, you can design DOV controls in a number of different ways. Oracle recommends designing DOV controls in a particular way. In general, the DOV control should:
- Have the following Universal Unique Identifier (UUID):
BD991BC0-B0A4-11D2-80E3-00A0C9AF7674
- Be included in an item that is identified with the following UUID:
BD991BBF-B0A4-11D2-80E3-00A0C9AF7674
- Appear within a form section that is identified with the following UUID:
BD991BBE-B0A4-11D2-80E3-00A0C9AF7674
- Not appear on a common form.
Although not required, the following are also good practices in DOV design:
- Include the Date of Visit section on the first form of every visit. This Date of Visit section is the same as the Date of Visit section used in Unscheduled Visits.
- Configure InForm application to enforce visit date reporting by setting the value of the EnforceVisitDate configuration parameter to 1 (yes). Use the MedML SYSCONFIG tag. For more information, see Defining system configuration settings.
The Reporting and Analysis retrieves DOV data from the database assuming that your trial has been built in this way. The DOV used in reporting is a date entered by an InForm application user into a DOV control designed with specific UUIDs mentioned above.
