Data Structure

This page displays the data structure defined for the measure identified in the title and structure short name. The table below displays a list of data elements in this structure (also called variables) and the following information:

Element Name: This is the standard element name
Data Type: Which type of data this element is, e.g. String, Float, File location.
Size: If applicable, the character limit of this element
Required: This column displays whether the element is Required for valid submissions, Recommended for valid submissions, Conditional on other elements, or Optional
Description: A basic description
Value Range: Which values can appear validly in this element (case sensitive for strings)
Notes: Expanded description or notes on coding of values
Aliases: A list of currently supported Aliases (alternate element names)
For valid elements with shared data, on the far left is a Filter button you can use to view a summary of shared data for that element and apply a query filter to your Cart based on selected value ranges

At the top of this page you can also:

Use the search bar to filter the elements displayed. This will not filter on the Size of Required columns
