# Get Started

# Introduction

As this is a package extension, if you are new to `{admiral}` then the best place to first start reading would be the Get Started page. This extension package follows the same main idea and conventions, and re-uses many functions from `{admiral}`, so it is important to thoroughly understand these to be able to use `{admiralonco}`.

# Creating Oncology ADaM Datasets

For the oncology ADaM data structures, an overview of the flow and example function calls for the most common steps are provided by the following vignettes:

- Creating a Basic ADRS
- Creating ADRS (Including Non-standard Endpoints)
- Creating ADTTE
- Creating ADTR

`{admiralonco}` also provides template R scripts as a starting point. They can be created by calling `use_ad_template()` from `{admiral}`, e.g.,

    library(admiral)

    use_ad_template(
      adam_name = "adrs",
      save_path = "./ad_adrs.R",
      package = "admiralonco"
    )

A list of all available templates can be obtained by `list_all_templates()` from `{admiral}`:

    list_all_templates(package = "admiralonco")
    #> Existing ADaM templates in package 'admiralonco':
    #> • ADRS
    #> • ADRS_BASIC
    #> • ADTR
    #> • ADTTE

# Support

Support is provided via the admiral Slack channel.
