Mapping date time controls—Manual mappings

When creating a mapping definition for a date time control, you can map the control to a single Clintrial item with a data type of DATE or TEXT, or you can split the date time control into its component parts and map each one to separate Clintrial items. You can specify either of these options for all date time controls when you autogenerate mappings for a trial. To map a specific date time control to multiple Clintrial items, you must do it manually.

To map a date time control manually:

  1. Create a new Clintrial mapping item.
  2. Select the new item in the Data Mappings window and update its properties as follows:
    1. Change the RefName to an appropriate name for the date time component part.
    2. Change the Type to FIXED or TEXT. A warning message indicates a potential incompatibility if controls are already mapped to the item.
    3. Click Yes in the message to acknowledge the warning.
    4. In the Date Part property, select the date time component for which you are creating a mapping.
    5. If desired, change the Length to an appropriate value for the date time component.

  3. Repeat these steps for each part of the date time component for which you want to create a separate Clintrial item mapping.
