Improved usability of EDC and ADC Datasources in the Vocabulary
The Vocabulary editor has been enhanced to decorate the vocabulary tree to indicate which elements of the vocabulary are mapped to an ADC Datasource. This decoration has been available for EDC Datasources in previous releases.
When an EDC or ADC Datasource is added to a vocabulary, the Vocabulary editor is modified to place a Datasource pulldown menu above the Vocabulary tree, as illustrated:
Figure 1. Datasource not selected
If an EDC Datasource is selected, the tree icons take on database 'decorations' on each persisted entity and attribute. The list of attributes in each persisted entity is re-arranged such that the one or more attributes that comprise the entity identity, the Primary Key, are at the top of each list, as illustrated:
Figure 2. EDC Datasource selected
When more than one Datasource has been defined in a Vocabulary, clicking the pulldown lets you choose which Datasource you want to view, as illustrated:

In the following illustration, the Patient ADC Datasource is showing its persisted elements and keys, and the Datasource's section of the Properties panel is decorated to indicate that it is the Datasource in the current view:

When you toggle the Datasource selector to the Treatment ADC Datasource, it decorates its persisted elements and keys, and the Datasource's section of the Properties panel is decorated to indicate that it is the Datasource in the current view:

Improved hover help in Vocabulary to display multiple Datasources
When Vocabulary details are selected, hover help in the Vocabulary has been enhanced to clarify what is mapped and what is not mapped:
