,What is an Add Type?
An item's Add Type describes how long a piece of data is valid. It
determines whether an item's value is stored on each contact, or
directly to the record.
No-Add
No-Add items store data directly on a record, not a specific
contact. The value is true for all contacts on the record.
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.
Lookback
Lookback items store values separately on each contact, but
assume that the last value entered remains true until a new value
is entered.
,Difference between overtime and no-add types?
Since both response each time and lookback items store data on
the contact, these add types may collectively be referred to as
overtime add types.
No-Add data is stored at the record level, while Overtime data is
stored at the contact level.
What is a response type?
An item's Response Type determines how many lines of data an
item can hold. For example, at any one time, a patient has only one
date of birth, but she can have multiple symptoms, or a multi-line
address.
Single Response?
Only one line of data can be stored per contact.
Multiple Response?
Multiple lines of data can be stored per contact.
These lines might be discrete pieces of data, such as multiple
symptoms, or they might be multiple lines of a block of text, such as
an address.
, Related Group
Multiple lines of data can be stored per contact, and each one of
these lines is related to a line in another item.
These lines might refer to a list of relatives' names and their phone
numbers.
