Up-versioning Standards

keeping clinical standards up to date is essential for ensuring the quality and accuracy of clinical data and supporting regulatory compliance ryze provides published standards (such as cdisc sdtmig and nci controlled terminology) that you can use in your studies; however, there may be a need to update these standards to a newer version from time to time for example, if you want to up version a study using sdtmig v3 3 to v3 4 relink assets content within your repository can have links to other content for example, a proprietary standard may have links to an imported sdtm published standard when standards are linked, we can see where they come from ( docid\ z xijkcwtkkyl69ptnfpa } and if they inherit any rules present in their parent standard to see where an asset derives from, see the docid\ z xijkcwtkkyl69ptnfpa note docid\ jzczwfvqjl1qcnkhzrfpc rules can change with a new version of a standard, you may have to review the content for deviating or non compliant assets relink to a published standard you can use relink assets to point the assets in standard or study to a new parent this can be useful when uploading external content for example, if you have content that is linked to sdtmig v3 3, you can use relink assets to point to sdtmig v3 4 this means things like conformance rules are now applied based on the new linked standard relink assets can be used to update to a new version of a standard relink to a another standard such as a draft standard if you create your own standard, you can use this as the most up to–date version and relink other standards to it (cdisc standards are only used once they are approved and published when the cdisc version is released and added to the system, you can then relink to it) up version to an existing published standard to up version a standard to a newer published version open your existing standard, click libraries and add the new standard as a library go to assets > relink (you can do this at standard level or asset level) select the assets to relink (you can select all the assets in an asset group or select specific assets) select the library and asset group to link to and click next review the comparison summary and click relink once you have relinked the assets, the summary is displayed this shows how every asset changes between versions the relink assets function compares assets based on identifier, label and name properties between each version select subset from standard one of the key features of relink assets is that once you have linked to a new version, you can use the select subset from standard function to add new assets (such as variables), furthermore, when you relink to a standard that contains new assets, these are not added automatically you must use the select subset from standard function to accept any new variables into your domain open the select subset from standard screen click on any unchecked required variables and click save once you have added required assets, they cannot be removed from the current version
