Overview: Promoting an ADaM Data Set to Be a User-Defined Template

Typically, an ADaM data set is used within a single study or submission. The ADaM data set is available only to the study or submission in which it is defined. However, when an ADaM data set is promoted to be a user-defined template, the data set can be included in any study or submission.
Tip
You can replace a current user-defined template with a revised version. Replacing a current user-defined template enables you to incrementally evolve a data standard rather than creating a new one.
Here are the requirements to promote an ADaM data set:
  • The user-defined template name and identifier are required.
  • The user-defined template name and identifier must be unique within a data standard.
  • The user-defined template identifier must be a valid SAS data set name.

  2. Right-click an ADaM data set, and then select Analyze Model Usage.
    The Analyze Model Usage dialog box appears.
    Analyze Model Usage dialog box
    The Studies/Submissions list displays all of the studies and submissions that currently use the selected ADaM data set.
  3. From the Studies/Submissions list, select one or more items.
  4. To limit the ADaM data sets to display, select a type from the Show domains of type drop-down list.
  5. Click Show Domain Details.
    In the Domain details list, a summary of the ADaM data sets and data set columns appears. Each ADaM data set that is included in the selected study or submission appears as a column in the list.
  6. To promote an ADaM data set, perform the following steps:
    1. Select a data set from the Domain drop-down list, and then click Promote.
      The ADaM Template Name and Identifier dialog box appears.
    2. Enter a name and identifier for the user-defined template.
