Caboodle-Structure - Answer-Caboodle is similar to Clarity in that it is a relational
database consisting of tables with rows and columns, is accessed using SQL, and does
not contain data entered today.
Caboodle is designed to make reporting simpler and more efficient than it is in Clarity.
For example, Clarity stores provider information in a table called CLARITY_SER, while
Caboodle uses a more intuitively named table, ProviderDim. Many columns in
ProviderDim provide information directly, while the equivalent CLARITY_SER columns
require additional work or processing time. Caboodle is a data warehouse, which means
it can hold data from multiple sources, in this case both Epic and non‐Epic data. Not all
Epic data is in Caboodle, and Clarity holds much more Epic data than Caboodle. Epic
adds more information to Caboodle with every release, but some reports that can be
written using Epic's other databases can't be written using Caboodle.
/.Chapter 10-Data Source - Answer-Epic data primarily lives in Chronicles, Clarity or
Caboodle. Often the first questions that must be
answered when deciding how to visualize the data is to determine where it must come
from.
Databases are also called Datasources
/.Chapter 10-Triage - Answer-For a report: looking at the scope and priority, as well as
classifying the report by which database should be used.
/.Chapter 11-Trace - Answer-It can show which indexes, if any, the search engine is
using in the report.
Running a trace of the report can answer the question: "Why did this report return this
result?"
A trace will run the report as normal but the system will keep a log of what was done.
This log can be viewed to show the exact logic evaluated for the subject of the trace.
You are able to specify a record or set of records, and see why each record was
included or excluded from the results of the report.
/.Chapter 11-True or False. You are not able to run a report while viewing another user's
Library. - Answer-True. You cannot run a report while you are viewing another user's
Library
/.Chapter 11-Why can't you see the data displayed by components in another user's
dashboard in Proxy mode? - Answer-Security. Other users' components may display
data from parts of Epic you should not be able to
,view.
/.Chapter 12-Analytics Catalog - Answer-The Analytics Catalog is the centralized shop
for your data consumers. The following Cogito content is all
available and searchable in a single place.
Dashboards
Components
SlicerDicer
Data Models
Workbench Reports
Links
/.Chapter 12-Metadata Editor - Answer-From the Metadata Editor, any Analytics Catalog
entry can be modified without needing to open the record in a separate activity. This
metadata is stored on a record in the HCM master file.
Changes made in the Metadata Editor will be reflected in the original record as well.
Some of the useful things that can be modified here include:
Descriptions and tags to improve visibility of your content to consumers.
Review status and reviewer decisions to communicate which reports and dashboards
have been validated.
Ownership in case something breaks and needs fixing.
/.Chapter 12-Tags - Answer-Using report tags is a better way to categorize content.
Users rely on tags to narrow their search, and on useful descriptions to select the
content they will to run or view. Both tags and descriptions can be added during build in
the following editors:
Components
Dashboards
Reports
/.Chapter 12-When building custom reports, dashboards, or components, which parts of
your record will be visible and searchable in the Analytics Catalog? - Answer-The
display name of the record, tags, and the description
/.Chapter 12-Which of the following reporting resources can appear in the Analytics
Catalog?
A. Workbench Reports
B. Saved SlicerDicer sessions
C. Radar dashboards
D. Dashboard components
E. Workbench templates
F. Epic‐Crystal reports - Answer-a) Workbench Reports
c) Radar dashboards
d) Dashboard components
e) Workbench templates
f) Epic‐Crystal reports
, /.Chapter 13-True or False. Your Chronicles Administrator, Clarity Administrator and
Caboodle Administrator will always be three separate people. - Answer-False. Database
administrators sometimes oversee operation of more than one database.
/.Chapter 13-Which of the following responsibilities are often met by the Cogito team?
A. Managing the flow of data between Clarity and Caboodle
B. Building SmartForms to support specific workflows in Hyperspace
C. Creating custom Radar dashboards for end users

/.Chapter 15-Action Groups - Answer-Controls what extension-based actions users can
use
◦ Standard action groups:
◦ General
◦ Clinical
◦ Financial
/.Chapter 15-Activity-based action - Answer-The first type of action is one that jumps the
user to a place in Hyperspace. This could be opening the patient's chart, creating an
encounter, or opening any other activity. Whether or not a user can take these actions is
controlled by the application security class in charge of that menu option.
/.Chapter 15-Extenstion-based action - Answer-Extension‐based actions are records in
the HGA master file.
If a user and an extension‐based action share an action group, the user can complete
the extension‐based action wherever it appears. Action groups are arbitrary categories
used to control access to extension based actions.
To control access to extension‐based actions, you must:
*Assign Extension‐Based Actions to Reports
*Identify the Action Groups on Extension‐Based Actions
*Assign Action Groups to Users
/.Chapter 15-Report Group - Answer-Report groups are the primary means of
distributing Cogito content. A user is granted access to content if:
The user has a security class that grants them the appropriate functionality to view/run
that content. The user and content share at least one report group
