This would certainly be beneficial for collaborative epidemiology projects, keeping track of what fields you maintain, and avoiding redundant data collection. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/35#post-57 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:00:05 +0000 TRAMDTRAN 57@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Yes, I agree this would be very useful as personnel responsible for maintaining the database may change and it may not always be obvious as to why certain data has been maintained and/or the purpose of some computed fields. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/35#post-54 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 10:00:50 +0000 Lianne Mink 54@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>Thanks for the feature request! Are there any other community members that would be interested in this? If so, we would like to get your feedback. </p> http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/topic/35#post-53 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:45:52 +0000 jamie-lheureux 53@http://www.progenygenetics.com/community/ <p>It would be nice to be able to export out a data dictionary. It could just be the name of all of the fields, the field type, and if possible, the options for drop down fields. If a description could be added when each field is created that explains that field, that description could also be exported in the data dictionary. Funding sources often ask for a data dictionary to see what type of data is being collected for a study. We currently track this in excel and have to remember to update it whenever we change or make new fields. </p>
