Creating a CDD mapping definition object

In the InForm Architect application, you can create a data mapping definition using the data mappings menu or toolbar commands or by loading an XML file containing MedML tags that specify a data mapping definition.

Note: Oracle recommends that you create data mapping definitions only after installing your completed trial definition in the strict mode of the MedML Installer tool. This insures that your component definitions are complete and all dependencies among definitions are satisfied. If you do not use strict mode (the default MedML Installer mode), any incomplete component definitions that non-strict mode allows to process are carried over into the data mapping definition.

To create a CDD mapping definition object:

Do one of the following:
- Select Trial > Create Data Mappings > CDD.
- In the Trial toolbar, click the Data Mappings button (). In the Data Mappings Type dialog box, select CDD and click OK.
- In the Trial Objects window, right-click the Data Mappings node and select Create CDD from the pop-up menu.
The Create Data Mappings dialog box appears.
Accept the default of Manual, and click OK. The Data Mappings window opens in the Trial Design workspace.
Edit the CDD mapping property values in the Properties window.

The following table describes the properties of a CDD mapping definition.

Property	Description
RefName	RefName of the component. REQUIRED. For rules about the use of RefNames, see RefNames
Type	CDD. READ ONLY.
Active	Active or Inactive, indicating whether the CDD definition is accessible with InForm Architect application. The default is Active. To disable a CDD definition, set the value to Inactive and install the definition by saving it with the Install MedML When Saving option enabled or by using the MedML Installer utility. The CDD definition becomes inaccessible with the InForm Architect application. OPTIONAL.
Auto Generated	True or False, indicating whether the CDD is in Auto-Generate mode. In this mode, when you add a new control to a form in the Form window, the InForm Architect application automatically generates a CDD mapping definition for it at the end of the list of column definitions in the target table. REQUIRED..
Design Note	Free-form text, with a maximum of 255 characters, containing any information you want to capture about the design of the component. This information is for documentation only. OPTIONAL. Design Note text is not transferred to the target tables.
