Usage/Business Rules
  • Business Rule(s): 
    • Must be provided when the /ODM/@FileType is Transactional and /ODM/@Granularity in (All, AllClinicalData, SingleSite, SingleSubject).
  • Other Information:

    • Each arm is described as a workflow containing references to StudyEventGroupDef elements that represent the building blocks. The overall structure of the study for all arms can be described in a workflow that is directly referenced by StudyStructure.

    • StudyEventGroups can be "nested" (by reference), so a CDISC SDTM Trial Design element (the basic building block in the trial design) will be represented by a referenced StudyEventGroup from the arm workflow.
