Central Coding mapping workflow

To use the InForm Architect application coding mapping feature in coding activities with Central Coding:

  1. For each form that contains data to be coded, design controls to hold data as entered (verbatims), controls to hold coded data (code targets), and if required by the dictionary, controls to hold additional context information (context items).

    Verbatim, code target, and context item controls must be:

    • In the same visit if the visit is repeating.
    • On the same form if the form is repeating.
    • In the same itemset if the coded data appears in an itemset.
    • Different from each other.

    Note: Oracle recommends that you do not place rules on items defined as code targets. This practice simplifies signature invalidation processing.

  2. Create a mapping definition that specifies:
    • Each verbatim to be coded.
    • The dictionary used for coding.
    • Each code target to which the Central Coding software returns a coded value.
    • Each context item used to provide additional context data to the Central Coding software.
    • Each applicable verbatim type.
  3. In a production trial, use Central Coding software to:
    1. Export the verbatim and context data from the InForm software to the Central Coding software.
    2. Code the data.
    3. Import the coded data from the Central Coding software to the InForm software.
