I IDM 130 is a networked item that is not filled in for a particular record. What value will be

What value will be extracted to Caboodle for this item, and other networked items that are not
filled out in Chronicles? - CORRECT 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? - CORRECT 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? - CORRECT 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? - CORRECT ANSWER - A category list is a list of defined values
that can be stored in a Chronicles item.

category values are released by Epic and cannot be changed. Note that any category values you

B. Multiple Response
C. Networked

E. No-Add
F. Category - CORRECT ANSWER - A and D. 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

What is an Add Type? - CORRECT ANSWER - An item's Add Type describes how long
a piece of data is valid. It determines whether an item's value is stored on each contact, or
directly to the record.
No-Add - CORRECT ANSWER - No-Add items store data directly on a record, not a
specific contact. The value is true for all contacts on the record.
Response-Each-Time - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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? - CORRECT 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.
