You have built a component record. Now, in the Designer UI, you click Add Component but can’t
find your component in the catalog. Why not?
A. You are trying to add the component to a view instead of to the source. You can only
add components to the source from the Designer UI.
B. Your component isn’t enabled.
C. You haven’t refreshed the dashboard! Click ALT + = to refresh.
D. You must not have access to the component. You can only add components to a
dashboard if you have access to them.
B ‐ your component isn’t enabled
- True or False. Every source dashboard has exactly one view.
False ‐ Each user can create one or more views of a single source dashboard
SlicerDicer Populations
True or False: SlicerDicer can be used to report on any data that has ever been entered into Epic.
False. SlicerDicer can only be used to report on data that has been extracted to Caboodle.
A SlicerDicer population is showing all smokers with PCPs in your clinic. You would like to see these
patients grouped by their different PCPs, with one bar per provider. How would you do this?
Choose only ONE answer.

B. Clarity
C. Caboodle
a
Which of Epic’s databases are relational databases?

B. Clarity
C. Caboodle
b,c
- True or False. You can use the Record Viewer to look up a list of columns in a Clarity Table.
False. Use the Record Viewer to view data from a record in Chronicles. Use the Clarity Dictionary to
look up the columns in a Clarity table.
- What is the difference between a record and a contact?
A record is a single entity. What kind of thing depends on the master file ‐ a record in the patient master file is a patient, a record in the provider master file is a provider, etc.
A contact represents a single set of data (usually representing a unique time period) on that record.
What is the difference between a multiple response item and a response each time item?
These refer to different item characteristics. “Multiple response” refers to a particular Response Type.
A multiple response item can hold multiple answers on one contact. “Response each time” refers to a
particular Add Type. A response each time item can hold different answers on different contacts.
True or False: A patient who has been seen twice at your facility should have two records in the
Patient master file.
False ‐ The patient should only have one record, but that record will have two contacts.
A user shows you a field in Hyperspace that they want to report on. How can you find where in
Chronicles that field files to?
Control‐click it. If that doesn’t work, try using the Record Viewer.
- What master file stores dashboard resources?
IDK
What master file stores metric definitions?
IDN
If a table component has a data source of “Report”, will it leverage the metric framework?
No. A Data Source of Dashboard Resource indicates a component will use the Metric Framework
True or False: A metric definition may only be referenced by one dashboard resource record.
False.
A user ran a REPORT to find all geriatric patients but now wants to limit the report to only patients who have arthritis.
The report includes a column to display the patients’ medical problems.
How can the user limit the report to only arthritic patients without re‐running it?
Use the Filters tab, and filter the Medical Problem column on the value “arthritis”
- Who can find a public report in the Analytics Catalog?
If a user can see a template in the Analytics Catalog, they will be able to view and run all the public
reports made from the template.
- True or False. A private report is one that anyone can run, but only the creator can edit.
False.
- What is the difference between a parameter and a display column?
A parameter is used by the query. It will determine which results are found at run time. A display
column is used to display information about the results that are found.
- What Master File stores one record for every display column in Chronicles? Choose only ONE
answer.
A. HRX
B. PAF
C. IDB

- What should you do before creating a new display column?
Check to make sure there isn’t a column already created that you can use.
- For REPORTS, How could you find out what options are available for you to use in dividing up a pie chart,
choosing categories for your bar graph, or setting up levels of a grouped summary?
Check the list of Available and Used columns in the Display tab of your report.
- What controls the list of available measures in SlicerDicer?
Measures are chosen from the list of SlicerDicer Filters (FDS records) available in a given data model.
- True or False: In table components, the colored indicators can have different thresholds for each
row.
True. On the Thresholds tab in the Output Format form, you can specify overrides for each row to
have its own thresholds.
- What causes of concern would we have about a table component with the following threshold
settings?
Column Lower Bound Upper Bound Alert
Percent 34 67 Yellow
Percent 0 33 Green
Percent 68 Red
A. Percent thresholds should divide into perfectly equal parts ﴾e.g. 33.33, 66.66﴿
B. The thresholds do not account for decimal percent values
C. Percent values are unavailable for threshold logic
D. Alerts should always be ordered from lowest to highest severity, or highest to lowest
severity
b

Define the following SlicerDicer terms:
Population:
Filter:
Slice:
Population: a collection of entities in a data model. A population starts with the base and is
refined by the criteria
Filter: the word filter is used in SlicerDicer to refer to the many data points defined in a data
model. Filters can be used as criteria, as slices, as measures, and as display columns in the
detail view.
Slice: a slice divides up a population in SlicerDicer.
