Token nameDescriptionExample
EVENT_LABEL
Event label as specified in collection protocole.g. If visit name format is '%PPI%_%EVENT_LABEL%.%EVENT_UID(2)%', visit name generated will be '00011_Visit-01.01', where '00011' is the PPI, 'Visit-01' is the event label and '01' is the unique identifier.
EVENT_UID(n)

Assigns unique identifier which is unique to event for each PPID. The argument n is optional and specifies number of digits in the generated identifier. When not specified, no padding is done on left side of generated identifier.

For example:

%EVENT_UID% generates IDs like 1, 2, 3, 4, ...10,11 etc.

%EVENT_UID(2)% generates IDs like 01, 02, 03, 04, ... 10, 11 etc.

e.g. If visit name format is '%PPI%_%EVENT_LABEL%.%EVENT_UID(2)%', visit name generated will be 'PW-0001_Visit-01.02', where 'PW-0001' is the PPI, 'Visit-01' is the event label and '02' is the unique identifier.
PPI

CUSTOM_FIELD(level, fieldName)

Include value of any custom field identified by "fieldName" at the specified level. The field name is same as the attribute name that appears in custom form designer. The allowed values of level for visit names are "visit", "cpr" and "cp"

Examples

ExampleDescription
%PPI%_%EVENT_LABEL%_%SYS_UID%

Default format

%PPI%.%CLINICAL_STATUS%.%EVENT_UID(1)%
This will generate visit name with participant protocol ID, clinical status and sequential number. For example, 'GC_0001.Operative.1'

ExampleComment

GC_%PPI%_%SP_TYPE%_%YR_OF_COLL%_%PPI_YOC_UID%

This will generate a label of the sort: GC_1892_WB_1999_1. This is

for a specimen with PPI 1892, type is Whole Blood, collected in the year 1999 with a unique number 1.

CP_%PPI%_%SP_TYPE%_%PSPEC_UID%

This will generate a label of the sort: CP_1890_S_1 – for a specimen with PPI 1890, type Saliva & 1st child specimen for the particular parent.

%PSPEC_LABEL%.%PSPEC_UID%
This is generally used for aliquots. This will generate a label of the sort: CP_1890_Se_1.1, for the 1st child specimen of the parent with label 'CP_1890_Se_1'
