Fill in each required field, indicated by an asterisk (*):
Field Instructions Collection Name The system uses this name to create your ALS file name with the Collection ID and system timestamp. Keep in mind the following points:- Keep this name brief.
- Avoid special symbols:
[ ] \ / ; : % # @ $ { } | - Collection Names cannot begin with the characters 0 through 9.
- To avoid redundancy, do not include the string “ALS” in the Collection Name (the system prepends it to the file name).
- The system appends your choice of PV or PVM to the file name.
- You can create more than one collection, so consider using the project name or protocol.
Component Type Choose CDE or Form. RAVE Project Name Specify the project name that you intend to import into RAVE. This will appear in the ALS on the CRFDraft tab, column "ProjectName", and also as a field that can be used as a filter in Child Filter = ALS Specific. Select User Data String Source Choose PV or PVM. This will cause the system to insert either the CDE's PV or the PVM as the "UserDataString" on the Fields tab, regardless of what is selected on the Form for this Question. Fill in any other fields, as needed:
Field Instructions Recipient Email(s) Enter one or more email addresses separated by spaces for receipt of the ALS file. Collection Description Enter a description. Audit Comments Enter comments. Draft Form Name if Downloading CDEs If you are downloading CDEs, specify the draft form name, this will appear on the Forms tab "DraftFormName" column and will be the name of the Primary Form when loaded into RAVE.
