Permissions: Any Data Central user can create, save, and edit a visualization, but the user must have the Data Central Designer privilege to save a visualization as public or edit public visualizations.
A Custom Listing enables users to choose their own columns from different domains to be included in one listing.
Create a Custom Listing
- Start from the left navigation, locate the Visualizations section, and click the '+' New Visualization icon.
- Click Custom Listing to open the designer window.
In the Fields section, click the arrows, Data Store names, or Domain names to expand the data. Scroll down to view all available domains and fields.
In the example below, the Search feature was used to locate the AGE field in the Clinical data store and the Demographics domain by typing the field name.
Tip: Search also supports dot notation, e.g. DataStore.Domain.Field.
Note: System Tables, which contain operational data, can be used in custom listings. Although users cannot view or query these tables directly, they can request listings that utilize the data from them. Any listing created from System Tables is visible and usable by all dashboard viewers once saved.
Tables available for request include: Issue, Query, Review Objectives, Review Objectives Domains and Fields, Review Objectives Review Materials, Review Objectives Reviewer Roles, Review Status Metrics by Domain and Role, Review Status Metrics by Domain and Role and Subject, and Subject.
Define Columns
Drag the AGE field into the Columns area in the designer, and the preview will update. Along with the AGE column, the SUBJECT column is included by default. This field is common to all domains and is used for joins.
Drag the following fields to the Columns section.
- Clinical > Demographics > SEX
- Clinical > Concomitant Medication > CMTRT (Medication / Therapy Name)
- Clinical > Concomitant Medication > CMINDC (Indication)
- Clinical > Adverse Events > AETERM (Term for the Adverse Event)
- Clinical > Adverse Events > AETOXGR (Standard Toxicity Grade)
The preview updates accordingly and displays the selected columns and data.
Tip: To collapse or expand each area (Columns, Filters), click the down / up arrows. Click the box icon to view only one area and collapse all other areas.
For column configuration options, click the 3-dots in the header of the Columns section.
- To remove duplicates from the listing, check the box for Show Unique Records Only.
- The SUBJECT is the primary join field by default and cannot be changed. This field is in all domains and enables joining fields from different domains into one listing. Typically, this will be the only join field you need.
- Click the down arrow in the Select an Additional Join Field (optional) textbox and choose either No Join Field or a field from the drop-down list that includes only common fields in the selected domains. In this example, the No Join Field was selected.
- In the Show Data For drop-down, the default is First Columns Records, equivalent to a left outer join. Click the down arrow to change to All Records (full outer join) or Matching Records (inner join).
- Click OK, and the configuration pop-up will close while the preview listing updates. Notice that the number of records has decreased from 1014 to 986, as the duplicate records have been removed.
To update the column labels, click the three dots next to the field name to open the label pop-up.
Labels are generated automatically but can be modified. Enter your new label and click OK to save the changes. If you want to revert to the original generated label, simply click the refresh icon.
- Click OK and the preview listing updates.
Add a Filter to a Custom Listing
- Locate the field, SITE (Site name) in the Demographics domain and drag it to the filters section. A pop-up will open to configure a filter for the SITE field.
- The default setting is Include Selections, which can be changed to Exclude Selections if preferred.
- Open the Operator drop-down and choose from the available options: =, <, >, Null or Empty, or Between. In this example, '=' has been selected.
Select the values to filter to in the Filter Value drop-down. This example includes Mansfield Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Oncology Center of PA, Sacred Heart Medical Center, and St Mark's Hospital.
Note: The filter icon will become shaded after defining any filter for the listing.
Dynamic Filters
Dynamic Filters allow users to select predefined values from a drop-down menu located at the top of the finalized listing. When viewing the listing, users can pick one or multiple values from the drop-down, which immediately updates the listing to display the selected filter values.
- Turn on Dynamic Filters by clicking the toggle switch.
Click the Optional Default Filter Value(s) textbox to select the default values that the published listing filters to when opened. In this example, all five values are set as defaults, which means the listing will open filtered by all five selected values.
If no default value(s) are configured, the listing will filter by the first value in the list, opening with all records filtered by Mansfield Hospital.
Click OK.
Tip: Click in the whitespace to close the drop-down if the OK button is not visible.
When viewing the published listing, a drop-down menu with the filter values appears at the top. To apply the filter, click the drop-down arrow. Then, click the blue box labeled 5 selected to view the list of the five values available for filtering.
Select the values to filter, then click Apply, and the listing will immediately reflect the applied filter.
Note that now the blue box shows the number of values selected, which is 3 in this case.
Reorder / Remove Fields
- Click and hold the 6-dots next to a field and drag it above or below another field.
- Drag the column headers in the Preview window to desired order.
- Click the 'X' at the right of a field to remove it.
Export / Import Listing Configuration
After creating or editing a custom listing, the listing configuration can be exported directly from the designer. This allows users to easily replicate their listings across different environments, eliminating the need to recreate them manually. To export, click the Export icon in the upper right corner of the designer window and it will download the configuration file.
To import a Custom Listing configuration, click the '+' New Visualization icon and select Custom Listing. After the designer window opens, click the Import icon in the upper right corner. This will open a pop-up to upload the configuration file.
Note: Users with the Data Central Designer privilege can also export and import listings created by other users.
