What are the steps to writing a report request? - ANSWER-0. Identify the data elements

3. Join the Clarity tables together using the correct foreign key information
What activities in Chronicles can be used to look up information about data? -
ANSWER-- Item Information Window (Ctrl + click)
- Record Viewer
- Item Editor
- Category List Maintenance
When will Ctrl + click not work? - ANSWER-If the field is read-only or simply
incompatible
What does the Record Viewer show? - ANSWER-The Record Viewer provides a read-
only view of raw data in a Chronicles record.
When should you use Record Viewer? - ANSWER-When ctrl+click doesn't work to find
the INI + Item number for a piece of data, and you know the specific record or contact
you're interested in

ANSWER-'101'
, I IDM 130 is a networked item that is not filled in for a particular record. What value will
be extracted to Clarity for this item, and other Chronicles items that are not filled out? -

Response-Each-Time - ANSWER-Response each time items store values separately
on each of a record's contacts. If a response each time item is blank for a certain
contact, it should be considered unknown.
Lookback - ANSWER-Lookback items store values separately on each contact, but
assume that the last value entered remains true until a new value is entered.
Difference between overtime and no-add types? - ANSWER-Since both response each
time and lookback items store data on the contact, these add types may collectively be
referred to as overtime add types.
No-Add data is stored at the record level, while Overtime data is stored at the contact
level.
What is a response type? - ANSWER-An item's Response Type determines how many
lines of data an item can hold. For example, at any one time, a patient has only one
date of birth, but she can have multiple symptoms, or a multi-line address.
What value will be extracted to Caboodle for this item, and other networked items that
are not filled out in Chronicles? - ANSWER-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.
When do null values exist in Clarity? - ANSWER-Not all fields are populated in
Chronicles, ETL data cleansing deletes incorrectly formatted data, and/or a column is
deprecated and can no longer extract data
What does the Item Editor show? - ANSWER-The Item Editor shows the definitions of a
Chronicles Item. Note that it does not show a particular value stored in the item.
Instead, it shows information about how the item behaves for all values.
What is a category list? - ANSWER-A category list is a list of defined values that can be
stored in a Chronicles item.
What is the Release Range? - ANSWER-The Release Range describes which category
values are released by Epic and cannot be changed. Note that any category values you
see in Training that are outside the release range may differ from what you see back
home at your organization.

on a record. Which of the following could account for this behavior? (Choose all that
apply)
