RDE design
When an RDE is created, the view definitions are based on the structure outlined in the Data Dictionary, which is a table that is installed by default during the Reporting and Analysis installation. Sponsors can customize the Data Dictionary to modify the RD view structure.
An RDE includes two tables that store metadata:
- RD_DATADICTIONARY—Stores metadata for RD views that map to clinical forms.
- RT_MD_VIEWDICTIONARY—Stores metadata for RD views that map to CT_ tables.
An RDE also includes the following view:
- RD_VIEWDICTIONARY—Join of the RD_DATADICTIONARY and RT_MD_VIEWDICTIONARY tables. This view also contains unit information from the RD_GCV_V_UNITLIST table.
