# Specimen collection data

Mapping and loading this data in addition to the PK concentration data will generate the dosing and exposure view in VA HUB

This is the second of the two files required to generate the Analyte Concentration Over Time plot

**Specimen identifier** – the source data column in the Specimen Collection source data file must contain the same data for specimen identifier in the PK Concentration source data file

**Specimen collection date/time** - this field should be populated with the actual date and actual time of sample collection.  When mapping two source data columns to one data field they must be separated by a comma followed by a space (, )

**Protocol schedule day** – this field is populated with the nominal day

**Protocol schedule hour** - this field is populated with the nominal hour

**Protocol schedule min** - this field is populated with the nominal min

**Protocol schedule day, Protocol schedule hour, Protocol schedule min** – although these are non-mandatory fields one or more of these fields must be mapped to the source data file for the visualisation to be displayed in VA HUB

***Aggregation functions:*** the appropriate date format which represents the date format in the source data file must be selected

**TRAINING VIDEO:** This video walks through an example of mapping, loading, and reviewing Specimen collection data, highlighting the areas described above
