Design considerations for a custom context panel

Data set

Panel Type—Context panel.

A data mapping can have only one data set for which the Panel Type value is Context panel.

Data series for:

• Subject key item

• Context Type—Subject-related context item.
• Is Key—True.

• A context panel can have only one subject key item.
• If the data type of the data series is Text, the value of the DB Format Length custom property cannot be greater than 80.

• Block key item

• Context Type—Visit-related context item.
• Is Key—True.

A context panel can have only one block key item.

• Page key item

• Context Type—Page-related context item.
• Is Key—True.

A context panel can have only one page key item.

Data series for the following key items for repeating visits and forms:

• Block repeat key (visit index) item

• Context Type—Visit-related context item.
• Is Key—True.
• Repeated—True.

A context panel can have only one block repeat key item.

• Page repeat key (form index) item

• Context Type—Page-related context item.
• Is Key—True.
• Repeated—True.

A context panel can have only one page repeat key item.

Additional data series

Context Type—Other context item.

Use for additional data points to be collected for every record.

Note: Data series with a Context Type of Other context item are designed to be used in hybrid studies in which users can enter data using either the Clintrial or the InForm application. When you deploy a study that contains a data series with a Context type property of Other context item, the item definition for that data series is created in the Clintrial context panel, but the CIS application does not synchronize data from the InForm application to that context item. To enter data into a context panel item that is defined using the Other context item Context type property, users must use the Clintrial Enter module.

Context Type custom property

• Must not be set to Not a Context Item for any data series in the context panel.
• Must not be set to Other Context Item if the value of the Is Key property is True.

Data series data type

• Must be Text, Fixed, or Float if the value of the Is Key property is True.
• Must be compatible with the data type of the corresponding item in the Clintrial context panel, if the Clintrial context panel already exists.
