If data cannot be collected using fields in this guide, then a custom collection field may be used. Guidance for field creation in this section allow collection of data irrespective of subsequent inclusion in tabulation datasets.
Prior to adding a custom field to a CRF, confirm that none of the data collection fields in this guide or in the CDASH fit the need. Once confirmed, a new collection field for a CRF will be categorized as one of the following:
- Field for Data Cleaning, indicating a field that will support data cleaning only.
- Direct Mapping, indicating a field that will map directly to a tabulation dataset variable.
- No Direct Mapping, indicating a field that does not have a direct, one-to-one mapping to a tabulation dataset.
New data collection fields (not already defined in the CDASH Model) will fall under 1 of following categories.
