About writing rules for fixed repeating sections

When you create rules that use the study objects in fixed repeating sections, consider the following:

• For values in fixed columns:
  • You can create a rule that references a value in a fixed column.
  • You can create a rule to check the value in a fixed column.
  • You cannot create a rule with a query, set value, or email action that affects a value in a fixed column.
• For values in non-fixed columns:
  • You can create a rule that references a value in a non-fixed column.
  • You can create a rule to check a value in a non-fixed column.
  • You can create a rule with a query, set value, or email action that affects a value in a non-fixed column.
• For blank cells:
  • You can create a rule that references a blank cell in a fixed or non-fixed column.
  • You cannot create a rule with a query, set value, or email action that affects a blank cell in a fixed or non-fixed column.
• You can create a rule for a fixed repeating section to compare data between the rows of data in the fixed repeating section.

  For example, you can compare a subject's seated heart rate before receiving a drug to the subject's seated heart rate 30 minutes after receiving a drug.
