-
An activity that frequently occurs in studies (e.g. more than one time in more than one arm) and/or experiments and therefore is called out as a reusable template in a global library of activities outside the context of any particular study or experiment, and may be used in the composition of a defined subject activity group. A defined activity is a \'kind of\' activity rather than an \'instance of\' an activity. EXAMPLE(S): Standard blood chemistries are frequently included in studies - also activities that are study-specific and recur more than one time in more than one arm may be defined, such as a substance administration activity involving X amount of drug Y. OTHER NAME(S): NOTE(S): A defined activity is represented here as a subtype of Activity, but could also be thought of as an activity at a particular stage in the business process in which the activities occur, i.e., in the \'defined\' stage rather than the \'planned\' stage, the \'scheduled\' stage or the \'performed\' stage.
