Path

Purpose

The Path element is a required component of a mapping definition created by the ExternalMap element and must be the first child component element in the ExternalMap definition.

Syntax

<PATH>
  <CHAPTERREF attributes/>
   <PAGEREF attributes/>
   <SECTIONREF attributes/>
   <ITEMSETREF attributes/>
   <ITEMREF attributes/>
   <CONTROLREF* attributes/>
</PATH>

Children

Each optional child component of the Path element specifies the RefName of one portion of the RefName path of a source control in an InForm study:

Example

This example illustrates the use of the Path element without child components in a mapping definition for items common to all Clintrial panels in the mapping.

<EXTERNALMAP>
   <PATH/> 
   <CONTEXTPANEL REFNAME="MEDIKA_MAP">
      <CTITEM REFNAME="PATNUM" ITEMDATATYPE="TEXT" ISREPEAT="false"
         ISREQUIRED="true" DBFORMAT="VARCHAR2(20)" CONTEXTTYPE="1" /> 
      <CTITEM REFNAME="VISITID" ITEMDATATYPE="TEXT" ISREPEAT="false"
         ISREQUIRED="true" DBFORMAT="VARCHAR2(20)" CONTEXTTYPE="2" /> 
      <CTITEM REFNAME="FORMID" ITEMDATATYPE="TEXT" ISREPEAT="false"
         ISREQUIRED="true" DBFORMAT="VARCHAR2(20)" CONTEXTTYPE="3" /> 
      <CTITEM REFNAME="VISITINDEX" ITEMDATATYPE="FLOAT" ISREPEAT="true"
