General Notes,
The level of measure for NWSS DCIPHER SARS-CoV-2 reporting:,"Each SARS-CoV-2 PCR target ('pcr_target') that is measured should be specified on a separate row in the CSV file. For example, if N1 and N2 are both measured for the same sample, they should each be reported on a separate row. Other fields that correspond to this sample, including 'sample_id', should be repeated across those rows. In general, this format can be thought of as being ""wide"" with respect to most measurements made on a given sample, but ""long"" with respect to SARS-CoV-2 PCR targets."
Data types:,Fields are read in as strings; data type casting happens after file read in.
,
Submission Requirements,
Required fields:,"These fields must be included in the data file; if they are omitted, file upload will be prohibited. For required fields that allow [empty] values, the field column header must be included in the data file even if all row values are [empty]."
Non-required but non-empty fields:,"Some fields  are ""not required"" but also must have non-empty values, conditional on the completion of another field. Omission of these fields will not interfere with upload of the data file, but will cause them to be flagged for quality control issues once uploaded."
,
Value Sets,
Missing values:,
Requesting additional values for categorical fields:,"For categorical fields, restrict values to those listed in the Value Sets. To request that values be added to the vocabulary, please contact NWSS staff."
Case sensitivity:,Fields are not case sensitive.

Terminology,
PCR:,"Throughout this data dictionary, the term ""PCR"" (polymerase chain reaction) is used as a shorthand for ""PCR-based quantification methods"", even when the method is an RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase PCR)-based method for RNA targets, such as SARS-CoV-2. In addition, the term PCR does not refer to end-point PCR methods, but rather quantitative PCR methods, such as quantitative (real time) PCR or digital PCR."
