View ODM element path for target text
An Operational Data Model (ODM) is a standardized data model developed by CDISC to provide vendors with a structured way to represent, store, archive, and share the clinical trial data and metadata. The ODM file in the XML format allows for preparing and maintaining study design, forms, and items, keeping audit trails, and other aspects for efficient and consistent data exchange between systems (like SD and EDC), stakeholders, regulatory authorities, and more.
When working with CRF translation in SD, you can trace the ODM element path for each target text—see where this text is used in the CRF design for contextual reference.
