Investigating Chronicles Flashcards
A lab manager tells you he wants a report on lab specimens and shows you the field where he can input various information. What method would you use to find the INI + Item numbers of the data he’s looking for?
Ctrl + Click
A clinical administrator requests a query to include data for a patient’s registries. She’s not sure of the INI and Item number, but she knows the patient is on the Lung Cancer Screening registry. What tool would you use to find the INI and item number given this information?

What value will be extracted to Caboodle for this item, I IDM 130 is a networked item that is not filled in for this record and other networked items that are not filled out in Chronicles?
If the column is a key column, Caboodle will have a ‐1 letting report writers know that this value was not populated in the source, while still enforcing referential integrity
Why do Null values exist?
Not all fields are populated in Chronicles.
ETL data cleansing deletes incorrectly formatted data.
A column may no longer extract data because it is deprecated

What is a category list?
A category list is a list of defined values that can be stored in a Chronicles item.
A Chronicles item can store one or more options from a limited list. Which of the following could account for this behavior? Choose all that apply:
A. Single Response
B. Multiple Response
C. Networked
D. Overtime
E. No‐Add
F. Category
B. Multiple Response
C. Networked
F. Category
If a Chronicles item can store one or more options it is a multiple response item. If the options come from a limited list, that item may be a category item, where the category list is the list of options, or networked, where the records or contacts in the destination master file is the list of options
A Chronicles item stores a single value, but can store a separate value for each contact on a record. Which of the following could account for this behavior? (multi choice)
A. Single Response
B. Multiple Response
C. Networked
D. Overtime
E. No‐Add
F. Category
A. Single Response
D. Overtime
If a Chronicles item can store only one value it is a single response item. If a separate value is stored on each contact the add type is Overtime.
