Networked Items - ANSWER-define relationships between an item in
one master file and a record or contact. Each networked item will
store the ID of a Chronicles record or contact.
How does a networked item compare to a category item? - ANSWER-
Both networked items and category items store a value from a list. A
networked item points to an ID or contact within a master file. This
record or contact can store a wide variety of information depending on
the master file. By contrast, a category item points to a value in a
category list.

,You have a patient query and would like to display the name of the
patients' providers. Item EPT 18867: Admitting Provider is a
networked item that points to the SER master file. How can you use
Column Search help display the name of the admitting provider? -
ANSWER-Use Column Search on I EPT 18867 to find the foreign key
column in the starting table. You can also use Column Search on I SER
.2 to find the table that stores provider names. Use the foreign key of
the starting table to join to the primary key of the destination table.
True or False: Would it be possible to have more than one copy of the
same table in one report? Why or why not? - ANSWER-True; Because
Chronicles master files can reference each other multiple times, there
are multiple ways to link Clarity tables together.
If an item's response type is multiple, what element will be present in
the primary key of the table that extracts the item? - ANSWER-LINE
ER Diagram - ANSWER-An ER diagram is a visual tool that shows
relationships between database objects relevant to a particular
reporting area. Contains
- Common tables and their links for a particular reporting area
- Relationship cardinality of frequent joins
Views - ANSWER-Views are queries that are stored in the database. A
view can be accessed as if it were a table. Unlike tables, however,
views do not actually hold data. This means that using a view will not
necessarily increase the efficiency of a query. However, views can
reduce the amount of work that business intelligence developers must
do by reducing the complexity of a query.
, Derived Table (Materialized View) - ANSWER-Derived tables, or
materialized views, in Clarity are populated from queries that run
against data already contained in the database and can take the place
of several tables in one report.
EPIC SQL Functions - ANSWER-The Epic Standard SQL Functions are a
library of User Defined Functions (UDFs) developed and released by
Epic to accommodate both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle syntax.
Where are Clarity ER diagrams located? - ANSWER-Epic publishes and
maintains a Clarity ER diagram for each application. To find the one
you're looking for, search for "<application> ER Diagram htm" on
Galaxy. Including the "htm" will assure that you access the version of
the ER diagram that your web browser will be able to open. By
contrast, Caboodle ER diagrams are available in the Caboodle
Console.
What are the dependent database objects for a view or derived table
in Clarity? - ANSWER-The list of database objects upon which this
object depends. This list can help determine what extracted tables
and columns a view or derived table can be used in place of.
What naming convention do derived tables and views use? - ANSWER-
Views in Clarity typically begin with V_", however this naming
convention is not strictly enforced. Derived tables follow the
dimensional data model: fact tables begin with F_ and dimension
tables begin with D_, however this naming convention is not strictly
enforced either.
