Usage/Business Rules
  • Business Rule(s):
    • There must be an ItemDef element for each unique ItemOID attribute value in the study.
  • Other Information:
    • The Question element contains the text shown to a human user when prompted to provide data for this Item.
    • The Alias element may be added to represent an alternative name for the ItemDef, for example setting with Context="SASFieldName" for SAS dataset variable names.
    • The RangeChecks constrain the acceptable values for items of this type.
    • The CodeListRef (if present) constrains the acceptable values for items of this type to be members of the referenced codelist.
    • The Origin attribute in ODM v1.3 has been replaced by an Origin element attached to the ItemRef. This allows a different Origin to be specified depending on where the Item is used.
