Sequence

Purpose

Specifies a numbering sequence. Sequences allow sponsors to indicate how numbers are assigned to screened subjects, enrolled subjects, queries, and other types of numbered data. Each sequence is associated with a sequence type, defined with the SequenceType element.

Syntax

<SEQUENCE
   UUID="id"
    SEQUENCENAME="name"
    SEQUENCETYPENAME="name"/>

Attributes

UUID="id"

Universally Unique Identifier; a string that identifies the component uniquely across all studies, study databases, and machines. Required.

Note: The InForm application and the MedML Installer utility convert alphabetic characters in UUIDs to uppercase.

SEQUENCENAME="name"

Descriptive name of the type of number for which you are creating a sequence definition. Required.

SEQUENCETYPENAME="name"

Name of the sequence type to which the sequence number belongs. Required.
