Entering an item path explicitly
To specify an item path, use the following item path:
0.Visit.Form.Section.Itemset.Item[.control[.control…]]
Each component of the item path is the RefName used to define an element:
- 0—Indicates the current subject.
- Visit—RefName of the visit, as specified in the XML file that contains the visit definition.
- Form—RefName of the CRF or other form, as specified in the XML file that contains the form definition.
- Section—RefName of the section, as specified in the XML file that contains the section definition.
- Itemset—RefName of the itemset, as specified in the XML file that contains the itemset definition. If the import data for which you are creating a map field definition is a regular CRF item, not an itemset, type 0.
- Item—RefName of the item, as specified in the XML file that contains the item definition. Create a separate map field for each item in an itemset.
- Control—RefName of the control, as specified in the XML file that contains the control definition. To access an element of a group control, refer to each parent control in which the child element is nested. For example, to address one of two text controls within a group control, type the RefName of the group control followed by the RefName of the text control, and separate the names with periods, as follows: GroupControlRefName.TextControlRefName.
Examples
- The item path for the TEMPTEXT field in the TEMPTEXT item in the VS section of the VSL form in a visit called VISIT1 appears as follows:
0.Visit1.VSL.VS.0.TEMPTEXT.TEMPTEXT
- The item path for an item in an itemset appears as follows:
0.Visit1.SS.SECTION2.SS2GROUP.ONSETDATE.ONSETDATE
The control is a date control called ONSETDATE, in the ONSETDATE item of the SS2GROUP itemset in the SECTION2 section of the SS form in VISIT1.
- The item path for a text control nested within the VIEW radio control item in the CHESTXRAY section of the ECG form in VISIT1 appears as follows:
0.Visit1.ECG.CHESTXRAY.0.VIEW.VIEWRADIO.OTHERTEXT
The item is identified by the VIEW RefName; the radio control is identified by VIEWRADIO, and the text control is identified by OTHERTEXT.
