UUIDs

Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) ensure the unique identification of components across all servers, databases, and trials.

In most cases, assignment of a UUID property 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.

To implement some types of specialized InForm application functionality, specific UUIDs are required. For information about required UUIDs, see UUIDs.

Note: The InForm Architect application automatically capitalizes UUID strings that contain lower-case characters.
