Unit Dictionary

On this page you can create or update a Unit Dictionary.

Unit Dictionary Entries can be edited in a spreadsheet-like table:

  • right-clicking on a row will display a menu with options to insert rows, remove rows, undo and redo changes

  • one or more rows can be selected and moved to a different position

  • one or more rows can be selected and deleted using the right-click menu

  • rows can be copied and pasted. The rows can be copied from the same Unit Dictionary, another Unit Dictionary or a spreadsheet. Note: take care that the columns being copied match the editor columns.

  • you can test unit converstion factors by entering a value for the standardized unit.

  • a maxmimum of 10000 entries can be created. If you have a Unit Dictionary which requires more entries, please contact us.

OIDs

If the Unit Dictionary was imported from Medidata Rave release 2023.2.0 or higher, the Medidata Rave OID for the Unit Dictionary will be displayed. The OID cannot be changed in TrialGrid or in Medidata Rave.

When a Unit Dictionary is created in Medidata Rave the OID will be generated by taking the letters (in upper case), numbers and underscore characters from the Unit Dictionary Name. Once a Medidata Rave Unit Dictionary has an OID the OID does not change, even if the Unit Dictionary Name is changed.

The OID is used by Medidata Rave to uniquely identify Unit Dictionaries during study amendments.

When a draft is uploaded to Medidata Rave, the OID column will be ignored and a new OID generated from the Unit Dictionary name.
