Overview of InForm administration

Administrative data specifies configuration parameters for a study, who is running a study, and how the InForm application distributes the workload. You can configure most of the InForm administration features through the user interface or by editing XML files and installing them using the MedML Installer utility.

To set up an InForm study, you:

• Configure the InForm administrative features using the InForm user interface or XML.

  This guide provides instructions for configuring the administrative features through the user interface.

  For information on configuring the administrative features using XML, see the Utilities Guide.

• Configuring additional study features.

  These tasks are not available through the InForm user interface. For more information, see the Study and Reporting Setup Guide.

The administration pages in the InForm user interface are all based on the default product locale that is defined during the installation (or by using pfadmin commands). The only exception is the Reset Your Password page, which uses the user's product locale. The administration pages allow setting of locales and entering the following information in any language:

• Site names.
• Country names.
• Rights groups names.
• Custom group names.

  Standard group names are provided in English.
