RefNames
RefNames are names that are used to identify component definitions. In a Form definition window, the hierarchical representation of a form and its components shows each component by RefName. RefNames are also used to uniquely identify the path to a specific control when attaching a rule definition.
The following rules apply to the use of RefNames:
- RefNames can have a maximum of 63 characters.
- RefNames must be unique within a study and component type. For example, no two item definitions in a study could have the same RefName. However, a CRF and section can have the same RefName.
- RefNames are case-sensitive.
- After a definition containing a RefName is installed in the study database, you cannot change the RefName. After this point, to create a new RefName, you must create a new object.
- The following terms are disallowed for use in RefNames because they will cause a failure during the Reporting and Analysis database set up:
- CD_COUNT
- AFROWID
- SUBJECTID
- SITEID
- STUDYVERSIONID
- SUBJECTVISITID
- SUBJECTVISITREV
