CDISC Builder Flow

Selecting Data
Before any of the CIDSC builder tools can be performed, the data must be selected to be processed.  The system will automatically assign a libname (curlib) to the selected path.  All the data in the selected path will be displayed for selection.

Multiple datasets can be selected through the use of the key combination with the Shift or Control keys.  The Select All button will also toggle between selecting all the data or none.

Selecting Tasks
After the data has been selected, the user needs to select the task that is going to be performed upon the selected data.  The tasks include:

  • CDISC - Verify SAS datasets against CDISC standards
  • COMMENT - Generate comment domain dataset as part of the SDTM of CDISC
  • REPORT - Generate a PROC CONTENTS and PROC PRINT, audit trail and traceability reports
  • DIFFTEST - Verify differences among SAS datasets
  • FINDREL - Find variables that are potential related records
  • FMTSUM - Creates a summary report of all formats used with variables in specified data sets
  • METADATA - Create and manage metadata database with search
  • MATCHVAR - Match variable names and labels if they are similar
  • RELREC - Generate CDISC Relating Groups of Records in Separate Domain Datasets
  • SD2XPT - Creates a SAS transport file from SAS datasets
  • SUPPQUAL - Generate CDISC Supplemental Qualifiers and their association to parent domain

Only one task can be selected at once.  This will navigate the user to the selected screen for the specified tasks.  Upon completion of the selected task, you can then navigate back to the main screen to select a different task to be performed.

Accessing Help
Most screens within CDISC Builder contain context sensitive help information.  This can be accessed by pressing the F1 key.  This will bring up the help information pertaining to the current active screen.
