Understanding the Report Output Table
The report output tables in this guide 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.
- Data Element – The name of the field as it appears on the page.
- Additional Information – Guidance for correct data entry.
- [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.
