Valid Value Codes

Valid values are built-in codes required for certain fields in EDF; such as contractor names, matrices, and laboratories. Freely entered data might contain extra spaces, commas, or dashes that would make meaningful data manipulation and thorough or accurate data searches impossible. Specific values are used for these fields to standardize data entry, ensuring data consistency and preventing errors.EDF data fields requiring valid values are listed below.
