Setting up a new tmp project

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 collectors collect these.

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

• 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
• 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

To make "dropdown" functionality available, add a line to s_tmp table. The "project" will be the same for each dropdown, and the item will be different. See the s_tmp table for examples, and try the dropdown there.

Expandimplementation details

This is driven by some code that updates the dropdown source for the item combobox when the project combobox triggers a change event. This happens both in Patient Viewer Tab Tmp and in TmpV2 editor form.

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.
