Configure a fixed repeating section
Pre-requisites: Create an item on the section. For an item that you want to use as a fixed column in the section, do one of the following:
- In the upper-right above the section's table, click the Fixed Table icon ().
- In the Edit Fixed Table dialog box, in the Define Fixed Columns section, select the items to use as the columns in the section. For example, if you want to record a subject's heart rate while the subject is sitting and then standing, at specified time intervals after the subject receives a drug, the fixed items might be:
- Time point
- Position
- Heart rate
A fixed item must:
- Be a top level item with no nested items.
- Be a text, integer, or float item.
- Have a codelist with:
- At least one codelist item defined. If the codelist has a defined subset, you can only select a codelist item in the subset.
- A control type of radio button or pulldown.
Note: You cannot mark all items in a fixed repeating section as fixed.
- Optionally, to view only fixed items in the fixed repeating section in the table, deselect Show non-fixed columns.
- Click Add Row.
- Optionally, to indicate that you do not want a user to enter data for a particular cell, right-click the cell and select Set as Blank.
- Optionally, to modify the rows, use the buttons on the right of the dialog box.
- Click OK.
