~~The Critical Care and Medicine Database has~~ a ~~flexible method of quickly adding additional values required for temporary~~ [[~~Projects~~]]. [[~~Tmp Project Collection~~]] ~~explains how or [[data collector]]s collect these~~.

This are instructions for setting up a [[Temporary data collection]] project. See [[Projects]] for a list of previous ones.

~~Here are the pages that document how to run a project:~~

== Project Initiation ==

* if you don't already understand how our project data ~~works~~, ~~see [[Entity–attribute–value model of~~ the ~~L Tmp V2 table]]~~ to ~~understand what your options are in our framework~~

For external data requests, ask the requestor to fill out [[File:Request for additional collection.pdf]]. Additional start-up instructions and a bit of a checklist of what to consider are at [[Temporary data collection#Information relevant to data users]].

* [[~~Creating a new project article~~]] - ~~almost always~~ a ~~good first step,~~ a ~~place~~ to ~~take notes about the details for the project~~

* Consider if there is data that would benefit from [[Data Integrity Checks]]; if so, they are ~~set up by building a query that will have lines if the test fails and adding that query to~~ [[~~Function TmpChecker]], which is run as part of [[Pre-send Checker]]~~

* Add the line(s) for the project to ~~[[s_tmp table]]~~

** To make them only show up for one [[Program]], eg a CC project, add that program's key to the program column

** To make the project only show up for some sites, enter an (almost) identical line for each site and enter the hospital in the ''hosp'' column

** if the combination doesn't exist in [[s_tmp table]] then [[query s_tmp_project_item_consistent]] will flag the query during [[Pre-send Checker]]

~~== "dropdown" functionality ==~~

When there is serious consideration of a project, follow the instructions in [[Creating a new project article]] to establish a central place to document the project even during the consultation and design phase.

== [[Automatic Generation of TMP entries]] ==

== Project Design ==

* If not already done, [[Creating a new project article | create a wiki page for the project]]

* review and keep in mind [[Checklist when changing or adding a variable or tmp project]]

* review [[Entity–attribute–value model of the L Tmp V2 table]] and decide which data types you will use

** consider what to label those data types for this project t

* consider [[Data Integrity Checks]]; implement them early as [[Soft checks]] that only create a warning, and turn them into "hard" checks after a week or two if they have not had false positives

* if dropdown-like functionality is desired, decide the required options (see [[Dropdown-like user experience for tmp projects]])

* document these, and specific collection instructions, on the wiki page for the project

** ask for input and feedback from collectors on this early and throughout the project to make sure you get the data you want

* consider if the [[#project will only run at some sites or for one program]]

== Set-up ==

* add records to the [[s_tmp table]] as per [[#Project Design]]; these can be added early and s_tmp.active=false until the day of go-live

** add additional rows with different item/value entries to the [[s_tmp table]] if implementing [[Dropdown-like user experience for tmp projects]]

** add field labels and more in [[s_tmp table]] for use by the [[TmpV2 editor]]

*** labels for how the data type fields in [[L TmpV2 table]] will be used , which drives he field labels in

*** a link to the project's wiki page in s_tmp.instruction_url

*** a very brief reminder how to collect the specific variable in s_tmp.Instruction

* document which entries were created in under a == Log == section near the bottom of the project page; entry options and definitions often change over the course of a project as we learn more about the thing we are collecting and a detailed log helps with data analysis later

* follow [[Rolling out changes]] to get the project to collectors

== Additional info and options ==

If an entry will need to be added programmatically from VBA eg based on other data and a collector input, use [[Function GenerUpdate_tmp_entry]]. For an example of this, consider [[Overstay2 Overview]].

=== project will only run at some sites or for one program ===

* To make the project only show up for some sites, enter an (almost) identical line for each site and enter the hospital in [[s_tmp]].site

* If the project should only be collected for one [[program]], enter that program into [[s_tmp]].program; since we only collect two [[program]]s additional lines should not be required.

=== [[Data Integrity Checks]] ===

* If there is data that would benefit from [[Data Integrity Checks]], consider [[Setting up a new CCMDB Data Integrity Check]]

** generically, if the combination of Project/Item has no corresponding Study/Value entry in [[s_tmp table]] then [[query s_tmp_project_item_consistent]] will flag the query during [[Pre-send Checker]]

=== [[Automatic Generation of TMP entries]] ===

To make it easier for collectors to know what [[projects]] are currently collected, starting entries for projects that require an entry for ''every'' profile (possibly at a given site/program) are automatically created at profile creation through [[Automatic Generation of TMP entries]].

=== [[Checklist when changing or adding a variable or tmp project]] ===

We have had some pitfalls over time in getting started with these, see [[Checklist when changing or adding a variable or tmp project]] to help avoid repeating them.
