a Hyperspace user knows the exact field within a workflow that stores the data they
want on a report. When you control‐left click on a data entry field in Hyperspace, the
Item Information window appears.
This window shows the INI and item number in which this data is stored, along with
other information
about the item as a whole. 2-6
Record Viewer

data in Chronicles
record. 2-8

names as well as values stored.2-10
Further Item Filtering >

you searched for. 2-10
Null Values in Clarity
Any Clarity columns that is not a primary key can contain null values. Even foreign keys
may be null. Null values exist for several reasons: Not all fields are populated in
, Chronicles ETL data cleansing deletes incorrectly formatted data A column may no
longer extract data because it is deprecated. 2-11
Item Editor

filtering on the
category value itself rather than the name in the category list table. To find name to
display for a
particular value, you need to see the category list. 2-12

an item's value is
stored on each contact, or directly to the record. 2-17

value of a no‐add item should be considered true for all contacts on that
record. 2-18
Response Each Time
Response each time items store values separately on each of a record's contacts. If a
response each time item is blank for a certain contact, it should be considered
unknown. 2-18
Lookback
Lookback items store values separately on each contact, but assume that the last value
entered remains true until a new value is entered. 2-18
Response Type
An item's Response Type determines how many lines of data an item can hold. 2-18
