Usage/Business Rules
  • Other Information:
    • Workflows can be nested, by referencing a StudyEventGroupDef that references another WorkflowDef element. In this way a workflow can consist of several subworkflows.

    • A workflow for the study as a whole will typically be described in a WorkflowDef referenced from the Protocol element.

    • Workflows that are valid for a "study cell" (as described in the SDTMIG) will be described in a WorkflowDef referenced by a StudyEventGroupDef representing a study cell (i.e., ArmOID and EpochOID are populated).

      • References to the SDTMIG correspond to the SDTMIG v3.3, last Production version at the release of the ODMv2 Specifications. 
    • Workflows that are valid for a study element (as described in the SDTMIG) will be described in a WorkflowDef referenced by a StudyEventGroupDef without ArmOID and EpochOID populated, and by a "parent" StudyEventGroupDef representing a study cell (i.e., ArmOID and EpochOID are populated.

AttributeSchema Datatype or EnumerationUsageDefinitionBusiness Rule(s)
OIDoidRequiredUnique identifier for the workflow.
  • The OID attribute value must be unique within the Study.
NamenameRequiredHuman readable label for the workflow. 
  • The Name attribute value must be unique within the Study.

Workflows can be nested, by referencing a StudyEventGroupDef  that references another WorkflowDef element.  In this way a workflow can consist of several sub-workflows.

A workflow for the study as a whole will typically be described in a WorkflowDef that is referenced from the Protocol element. Workflows that are valid for a "study cell" (as described in the SDTM-IG), will be described in a WorkflowDef that is referenced by a StudyEventGroupDef representing a "study cell", i.e. with the ArmOID and EpochOID being populated. Workflows that are valid for a "study element" (as described in the SDTM-IG) will be described in a WorkflowDef that is referenced by a StudyEventGroupDef without ArmOID and EpochOID populated, and referenced by a "parent" StudyEventGroupDef representing a "study cell", i.e. with the ArmOID and EpochOID being populated.
