Understanding the Report Output Table

The report output tables include the following elements:

• Item # or Position – Either the numerical order of the data element (first element is 1, second element is 2), or the position in the report. For example, if there is a string of data elements, such as 2009YNYN08091989, the particular element may start at position 5. In this example, position 5 is Y.
• Data Element – The name of the data element.
• Description – Additional information about the data element, including state reporting rules.
• [Table] – The name of the table where the data is stored.
• Field Name – The name of the field where the data is stored.

Note: The Table name appears in brackets with the Field Name directly following. Example: [Table]FieldName.
