Access role security under the study settings menu:

Add new roles or edit existing ones in the list. To delete a role swipe right to left.

The role permissions grid is accessible at the bottom of this screen. The grid is a more universal view of all application permissions across all roles in the study. This is also exportable for saving a snapshot of the study permissions at a specific point in time.

Info

Study role permissions are audited by the system and made available within the regulatory audit reports.

Tap a role to open its details, or tap the form rights button at the bottom to edit view/edit rights for each form in the study.

Tap the icon in the upper right to view the study permissions. The application dropdown at the top displays the various functional areas of the system. Within each is are all underlying permissions.

...

Role - Role of the reviewer to the system

Status - This must be a value between 10 and 19. Every record in the system has a status based on its current state. The value defined here will be what the database stores as a value for any record reviewed at the corresponding level. This value can display in the data exports and/or the report builder.

...

Adverse Event Field - This is the field (must be a choice field) you want the system to use specifically when counting the number of AEs in various reports. If this is not set, it will default to simply use using the form defined above. 

Adverse Event Value - This is the value of the Adverse Event Field selected above that will true a "true" response - or a count in this case.

Do Not Send E-Mail Notifications to the Site

If you are concerned about spamming your Site, you can check this setting so email notifications will not be sent to the Site. Remember the My Queries report will report all open queries and allow users to access the entire query dialog. Therefore, it is often not necessary to send query notifications to site users.

...

Query coding is an important function of the Query Management System. Query codes allow for standardizing queries based on the reasons for the query. There are 4 types of query codes, they include:

...

When a query is created or closed manually, it provides the user with a list of possible reasons for creating or closing the query.

The Version Manager is found under the Study menu:

  1. Select which version of the study to manage. The choices here are populated from the study configuration. The choice made will indicate if it is a published version or a development version as shown below.

  2. Use the filters at the top to narrow down the results or include all sites at once, or just Check the box for each site that needs to be part of the version that was selected in step one. If the version is in development, only Administrative site types can be included.

After a new version is created, and sites have been included in that version, the system will include any future enrolled subjects in that version. Any subjects that already existed at a site will remain on a prior version unless they are migrated to the more recent version.

Important notes when migrating subjects:

  • All changes made to the study will be applied. To prevent unwanted changes or data loss, please keep this in mind and consider the changes made prior to migrating subjects.

  • All conditional actions on the forms will be re-run by the system unless you check the box "Do Not Run Conditional Actions" as shown in #3 below. This includes notifications and edit checks.

To migrate subjects, follow the steps annotated in the image below:

  1. Select the target version

  2. Include selected sites in the version if they aren't already. These will be disabled checkboxes if there are already subjects in on that site on the target version, or if the site is a provider site and the study is not live.

  3. Click the migrate subjects link. This will not perform any action on its own but will open the subjects table below

  4. Select which subjects to migrate to the target version

  5. Choose to bypass conditional actions and/or Include email type conditional actions to run. The common scenario is to not select either of these options.

  6. Perform the action of migrating either selected subjects or all subjects

When subjects are migrated their records are moved to the new version of the forms, possibly only some of which contain actual changes. If there were any changes to the visit schedule or the forms selected to be collected within the visits, those changes can be made directly in the visit schedule setup. Version migration is only related to subject forms and data.

Open the study settings to access version control

See versions that have been created. This is also where new versions can be created. Tap the Migrate option at the top of the screen:

Drag the desired version over to the site which you wish to include in that version moving forward.
Tapping a site will display the exiting subjects at that site. The version can also be dragged individually onto subjects if migrating subjects one by one. Otherwise, toggle the Migrate All Subjects option and then drag the version onto the site name to migrate all subjects for that site (sites must always be migrated individually).

The option to “Release Version” is used for newly created studies where the study builder wishes to start all sites at version one without individually going through all sites to get them back to the first version. To do this, data must first be cleared from the study.

Metrics

Basic metrics can be defined as a means of setting goals regarding the study progress. These are used in two places:

  • The Dashboard Report

  • The mobile app home screen progress charts

The audit settings dictate how the system tracks changes to study data. To access it, open the Study Configuration page and select the Audit tab. Read below the image for a description of each setting.

...

  1. Audit Changes to Subject CRF data

     - This tells the system to track data changes on all subject forms.

  2. Require reason for any change 

    - When data is changed on an existing subject record, the system will ask the user to provide a reason for changing the data. These reasons can be pre-set and required, as explained in the next few options.

  3. Use coded instead of the free text field for the reason

     - If this is checked, when reasons are provided for changing data, it will force the user to use the pre-set options. This makes data management a little easier.

  4. Allow first reason to be inserted for all other reasons

     - If several data changes are made on the same record, this option allows (but does not force) the user to enter the same reason for all the changes with one click, rather than going through and providing a reason for each individual field.

  5. Change Reason Coding

     - Allows the study designer to provide pre-set reasons for changing data. This may be forced on users or it can be made optional (see #3 above).

...

For Administrators, the audit trail for data entry can be seen globally via the Record Transaction Audit and the Data Change Audit reports. These display all events and changes on in all forms in the study.
