The OutputDisplay class is used:

• In the display attribute of an instance of the OrderedDisplay class representing 1 of the ordered displays within the displays attribute of an output.
• To specify text values to be used in different parts (or "sections") of the display (e.g., titles, footnotes).

An instance of the OutputDisplay class is created for each display in an output and, in each instance:

• The id attribute contains the identifier value assigned for the display.
• The version attribute contains the version number of the display.
• The name attribute indicates the assigned name of the display (e.g., "Table 14.1.2", "Table 14.3.1"). The display name should be unique within the reporting event.
• The description attribute may be used to record a detailed description of the display.
• The label attribute may be used to record a short descriptive label for the display.
• The displayTitle attribute contains a textual description of the display (e.g., "Summary of Demographics and Baseline Characteristics - Safety", "Overall Summary of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events"). The display name should also be unique within the reporting event.
• The displaySections attribute contains a list of display sections for which text values have been defined.

The following diagram indicates the display sections for which text values may be defined.

Within the displaySections attribute, each section of a display is represented as an instance of the DisplaySection class, which includes the following attributes:

• sectionType, which includes a value from the DisplaySectionTypeEnum enumeration (e.g., "Title", "Footnote", "Abbreviation") to indicate which section of the display contains the specified text values.
• orderedSubSections, which contains a list of ordered text value specifications (or "subsections"), each of which is represented as an instance of one of the specializations of the OrderedDisplaySubSection class:
  • OrderedSubSection, which contains a new subsection specification represented in the subSection attribute as an instance of the DisplaySubSection class that contains the text value in the text attribute and an assigned identifier value in the id attribute.
  • OrderedSubSectionRef, which contains, in the subSectionId attribute, the identifier of a subsection that has already been defined, either as part of a global display section (as described in the GlobalDisplaySection section) or within another display section.

In both specializations of the OrderedDisplaySubSection class, the order attribute contains an integer to order the subsection with respect to other sub-sections in the display section (i.e., "1" for the first subsection in the display section, "2" for the second subsection, and so on).
