Copy a case series

One way to create a new case series is to use an existing case series as the basis for a new one.

  1. In the left navigation pane, hover on the Data Analysis icon (Data Analysis icon), then select Case Series.
  2. Select the Row Action menu (Row Action menu icon) for a case series, and then select Copy.
  3. If the Select a configuration drop-down list appears on the Copy Case Series page, you can select a data configuration. By default, the application uses the data configuration associated with the original case series (and you must have permissions to use that configuration). If you are copying a query-based case series, this page does not appear.

    Note:

    If you select a different data configuration, case IDs that match in both data configurations are copied, but may represent different cases if the source data for the two data configurations differs.
  4. Select Next.
  5. On the Copy Case Series page, provide a name and description for the copied case series. The name does not need to be unique, although Oracle recommends that you use a unique name.
  6. Choose one of the following:
    • To assign the case series to an existing project, select Add to existing project and select the project from the drop-down list. Only projects associated with objects that you created or that are published to you appear in the list.
    • To create a new project and assign the case series to it, select Add to a new project named and enter a project name.
  7. Select Save.

    A message tells you that the case series has been copied and shows the names of the original case series (Source), the copy of the case series (Destination), and the number of entries in the two lists. If you copy a versioned case series, all annotations are included in the resulting copy.

If you copy a query-based case series, you can then edit the copy to create the new case series. Oracle Empirica Signal uses the query that was in effect at the time of the original case series for the copy. Any indication of cases as Reviewed or Excluded, and any attached comments, are included in the copy of a case series.

Note:

The copy of a case series includes any cases that were transferred or added manually to the case series. If you re-execute the query portion of the copy of a query-based case series, however, Oracle Empirica Signal drops those cases from the case series if they do not meet the query criteria.
