View Study Tagging Files (STFs)
To view STF XML files in Internet Explorer:
-
Open files in IE by right-clicking them in Windows Explorer and choosing
Open With > Internet Explorer.
Alternatively, you can open STFs by clicking their links while viewing the index.xml in Internet Explorer.
-
For each STF, verify that the Study Title and Study ID are populated and correct. If the study is in a section that requires extra STF category metadata, verify that as well.
Note: Only studies contained in 4.2.3.1, 4.2.3.2, 4.2.3.4.1, and 5.3.5.1 require various combinations of the four category elements (species, route of administration, duration, type of control). Studies in other sections can omit the category metadata.
Each leaf referenced in the STF needs to correctly point to the leaf ID in the index.xml file. When the leaf ID is correctly referenced, both the Document Title and Relative Filename are populated on the STF. If the ID is not referenced properly to the index.xml, these fields are blank.
-
Click the blue Relative Filename links to ensure that leaf files can be launched.
Each leaf in the STF must have a valid file-tag as described in the STF implementation guide. Tags are displayed in the STF as [us] nonclinical-data or [ich] study-report-body. The text in square brackets is the info-type tag and the rest of the text is the file-tag. Any tags that are misspelled or use the wrong info-type are highlighted in red.
