ExternalMap

Purpose

A wrapper for the mappings for one control in an Oracle InForm study. The ExternalMap element can include:

One Path element, which identifies the source control in the Oracle InForm study or signals the presence of mapping targets that have no corresponding control in the Oracle InForm study. For example:
- Columns to be created in a CDD that have no associated control on a CRF.
- Items that are common to all panels in a Clintrial protocol.
- Multiple elements that specify the target of each mapping.

Syntax

<EXTERNALMAP>   
  <PATH/>    
   <CDD* attributes/>    
   <CONTEXTPANEL* attributes/>    
   <CTPANEL* attributes/>    
   <CODINGMAP* attributes/>
</EXTERNALMAP>

Children

The ExternalMap element can include the following mapping definition elements:

Example

The following example illustrates the use of the ExternalMap element along with an unqualified Path element to define a set of mappings for items that are common to all panels in the CLIN1 mapping. Because the items are common, they do not correspond to a specific RefName path in the Oracle InForm study.

<EXTERNALMAP>  
 <PATH/>   
  <CONTEXTPANEL REFNAME="CLIN1">      
   <ITEM REFNAME="SUBJECT" 
ITEMDATATYPE="TEXT"         
      ITEMDATAMAXLENGTH="15" 
CONTEXTTYPE="1"/>      
     <ITEM REFNAME="VISITITEM" 
ITEMDATATYPE="TEXT"         
      ITEMDATAMAXLENGTH="15" 
CONTEXTTYPE="2"/>      
      <ITEM REFNAME="PAGEITEM" 
ITEMDATATYPE="TEXT"         
       ITEMDATAMAXLENGTH="15" 
CONTEXTTYPE="3"/>   
   </CONTEXTPANEL>
</EXTERNALMAP>

In the following example, the ExternalMap element defines the mapping from a control in an Oracle InForm study, specified by the Path element, to a table column in a CDD, specified by the CDD element.

<EXTERNALMAP>   
 <PATH>      
  <CHAPTERREF 
REFNAME="PF_ALL_VISITS"/>      
  <PAGEREF REFNAME="ECG"/>      
  <SECTIONREF 
REFNAME="CHESTXRAY"/>      
  <ITEMSETREF REFNAME="1"/>      
  <ITEMREF REFNAME="INTERPRET2"/>      
  <CONTROLREF 
REFNAME="INTERPRETRADIO2"/>      
  <CONTROLREF 
REFNAME="DESCRIBETEXT"/>   
 </PATH>   
 <CDD REFNAME="CDD1" 
KEYTYPE="PATIENT" 
TARGETTABLE="t_ECG"      
  TARGETKEYTYPE="PATIENTVISIT" 
TARGETCOLUMN="COMMONDAT1"      
  TARGETCOLUMNTYPE="TEXT"/>
</EXTERNALMAP>

In the following example, the ExternalMap element identifies the mappings for one verbatim in an Oracle InForm study, specified with the Path element, to be coded with the Oracle Central Coding application.
