Association

Associations between forms have no direct corollary in the Clintrial software.

Checkbox group

Maps to a single item for each check box and one additional item for each Other field associated with a check box.

Date field

The following options are available for mapping date fields:

• You can specify whether to map a complete InForm Architect date component to a Clintrial date field, individual string fields, or both.
• You can specify whether to map an incomplete InForm Architect date component to a single Clintrial string field, individual string fields, or both.
• If you split the individual parts of the date into separate columns in the Clintrial database, you can choose whether to map them to text or fixed data types.

Design note

In the InForm Architect application, the definition of any type of trial component can include design notes. These design notes are not translated to the Clintrial protocol.

However, when generating mappings for InForm items, the mapping generator populates the Design Note property of the CTITEM mapping definition with the text of the Question property of the item. This value is inserted into the Description field for the Clintrial item.

Form

Maps to a:

• Page template (hybrid trial only, metadata element may not be defined in an EDC-only trial).
• Panel (if mappings created in the InForm Architect application using automatic mappings).

  Special mapping considerations apply if page templates are not unique within the study book. For more information, see Using page keys and block keys.

Item

Maps to a Clintrial item. To mark an item as required, you must set the Item Required property for the item in the InForm Architect application.

Item question

Maps to a field label (hybrid trial only; metadata element may not be defined in an EDC-only trial).

Itemset

Each item within an itemset maps to a single item within the panel.

Itemsets in the InForm Architect application derived from page sections in a Clintrial protocol correspond to repeating items in the Clintrial software (page section with the Has Repeats attribute set).

Pulldown control

Maps to a single item within the panel. The item stores the string value associated with the pulldown control.

Radio button

Maps to a single item within the panel. The item stores the numeric value associated with the radio group. The mapping generator automatically calculates the maximum string length of each radio group control.

Radio group/Pulldown consisting of a group of radio buttons or a drop down list and one or more Other fields.

Maps to one item representing the radio group or pulldown list and an additional number of items representing the Other fields.

Repeating form

Corresponds to a single panel with items. The FormIndex value in the Clintrial database table holds form instance information (numeric value).

A repeating form in the InForm Architect application derived from a page template in a Clintrial protocol corresponds to a page template with the Has Repeats attribute set.

Repeating visit

Single panels, that comprise forms within visit, contain a VisitIndex value. The Clintrial database table (panel) holds visit instance information (numeric value).

Required item

Items marked as required in the InForm Architect application do not translate to required items in the Clintrial software. To force an item to be required in the Clintrial software, set the Item Required property for the item to True in a mapping definition.

Rule

Corresponds to a rule or derivation in the Clintrial software. Rules are maintained separately in the InForm application and the Clintrial software, but the rules created in each application can affect data in the other:

• CIS passes Clintrial rules and derivations through mappings from the InForm application to the Clintrial software.
• Clintrial rules and derivations can run against EDC data in the Clintrial protocol database.

Section

Page section (panels Types 1, 2, 3, 4). Hybrid trial only, metadata element may not be defined in an EDC-only trial.

Study version

Corresponds to a study book (hybrid trial only; metadata element may not be defined in an EDC-only trial).

Study (Trial)

Corresponds to a protocol (Type 1 - or clinical data protocols - only).

Unit

Controls in the InForm Architect application can be assigned a units property. The units information is not transferred to the Clintrial protocol.
