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.
