Mapping

SPORIFY Mapping Explained

  • By default, SPORIFY will analyse your uploaded data and apply a Resolution Status to every term you have uploaded.

  • System Based Resolution Status:

    1. Matched: SPORIFY has located an exact match for your term on the Target Referential list.

    2. Multiple Choice: SPORIFY has located multiple exact matches for your term on the Target Referential list. Note: When matching to Hierarchical lists, multiple choice will be allocated where identical term names with different term IDs are related to different parent terms.

    3. Suggested: SPORIFY found Target Referential Terms that are closely related to your local term.

    4. Not Set: SPORIFY could not locate any term similar to your local term.

  • SPORIFY provides mapping functionality to both Hierarchical and Non- Hierarchical lists. When matching to a Hierarchical list the corresponding matched terms will display the term parent in sub text under the matched term. When reviewing suggestions, users can view parent term information by hovering their mouse over the relevant term name text in the list of returned suggestions.

  • Once your lists are uploaded, each list will have a progress bar showing Resolution Status percentage for the given list.

  • Above all lists, an overall progress bar will show your Resolution Status percentage across all lists.

Data Governance

When Data Governance is switched on for this domain, target data records can be governed via Referentials Source Lists, Referentials Target Lists and Referentials Term Details screens. Referentials target data records will be governed at term level.

A record’s data governance status is initially set to Pending Review. The reviewer can then set a custom status and add an optional comment and the approver can thus accept or reject this status. Comments will be visible by hovering over the comment icon. If the approver rejects the status, then the record is set back to Pending Review. Any approver can also reject an item after it has already been approved to restart the process.

If the 4 eye principle is switched on, the reviewer and approver cannot be the same user.

If e-signature is switched on, the user must apply an e-signature to approve the record.

  • How to format your Source Data:

    1. Download the Standard Organisations Excel or CSV Template by clicking on the Templates action button. This template can be used for all of your Source Organisation lists.

    2. Data Format Required: SPORIFY requires three mandatory pieces of information to carry out Organisation & Location Mapping:

      • Source ID (Unique Local Database ID)

      • Organisation Name

      • Organisation Address

      • Note: Your address can be spread over multiple columns. SPORIFY will take every column after column three and include it as the source address.

    3. Using Excel: If your workbook has multiple worksheets, you must select the required worksheet to import from.

    4. By default, the system expects CSV files to be delimited with a comma.

    5. Set Custom Delimiter: If your CSV file is delimited with a character other than a comma, you can set your custom delimiter here. A custom delimiter can be up to three characters in length.

    6. If your column text contains the delimiter character, the text should be wrapped in quotation marks. For example, Street1, Street2, City, State, Country, Postcode should be formatted as “Street1, Street2, City, State, Country, Postcode” to correctly import the delimiter character.

    7. CSV files should be saved with UTF-8 encoding to preserve special characters.

Mapping

SPORIFY Mapping Explained
  • By default, SPORIFY will analyse your uploaded data and apply a Resolution Status to every term you have uploaded.

  • System-based Resolution Status:

    • Matched: SPORIFY has located an Exact Match for your data on the Target Organisation list.

    • Organisation Matched: Organisation mapped, location not mapped.

    • Multiple Choice: SPORIFY has located multiple exact matching Organisation Names for your data on the Organisation list.

    • Suggested: SPORIFY found Organisation Names that are closely related to your data.

    • Not Set: SPORIFY could not locate any Organisation similar to your data.

  • Match Settings are available to SPORIFY company administrators; they fine tune how SPORIFY matching works. Mapping results will be impacted by the Match Settings applied by your SPORIFY administrator.

  • Once your lists are uploaded, each list will have a progress bar showing the Resolution Status percentage for the given list.

  • Above all lists, an overall progress bar will show your Resolution Status percentage across all lists.

Data Governance

When Data Governance is switched on for this domain, target data records can be governed via Organisations Source Lists, Organisations Target Lists and Organisations Details screens. Organisations records will be governed at both organisation and location levels.

A record’s data governance status is initially set to Pending Review. The reviewer can then set a custom status and add an optional comment and the approver can thus accept or reject this status. Comments will be visible by hovering over the comment icon. If the approver rejects the status, then the record is set back to Pending Review. Any approver can also reject an item after it has already been approved to restart the process.

If the 4 eye principle is switched on, the reviewer and approver cannot be the same user.

If e-signature is switched on, the user must apply an e-signature to approve the record.

Navigate To: : Substance - Source Lists

Template: Formatting Source Data

  • How to format your Source Data:

    • Download the Substance Excel or CSV Template by clicking on the Template action button. This template can be used for all Source Substance Lists.

    • SPORIFY requires two pieces of mandatory* information to carry out Substance Mapping and provides optional fields for enhanced matching:

      • Source ID* (Local Database Unique ID is a required field, must be unique for every record)

      • Substance Name* (Source Substance Name is a required field)

      • Local Substance ID (This is not required to be unique e.g. an alias may share this ID with its common name. This ID is also used during our matching process to provide System to System match type.)

      • SMS/EUTCT

      • EV Code

      • UNII

      • CAS

      • INCHI

      • INN

      • ATC Code

      • Molecular Formula

      • SMILES

      • Name Type

      • Substance Type

    • Using Excel: If your workbook has multiple worksheets, you should select the required worksheet to import from.

    • By default, the system expects CSV files to be delimited with a comma.

    • Set Custom Delimiter: If your CSV file is delimited with a character other than a comma, you can set your Custom Delimiter here. A Custom Delimiter can be up to three characters in length.

    • If your column text contains the delimiter character, the text should be wrapped in quotation marks. For example, 1,2,3-TRIAZOLINE is formatted as “1,2,3-TRIAZOLINE” to correctly import the delimiter character.

    • CSV files should be saved with UTF-8 encoding to preserve special characters.

SPORIFY uses a matching algorithm to look across all available languages for matches. The system default is English but you can select your primary language here.

  • Select Source Excel or CSV File: Browse your computer network and select the source file to upload. If using CSV, the system expects files to be delimited with a comma by default.

  • Number Of Header Rows in My Source File: If your file contains header information, you can enter the number of rows you wish SPORIFY to skip when importing your data.

  • Restrict mapping to certain targets, statuses, and name types: Select to set specific mapping restrictions.
