Create a section (dynamic grid) to collect related data

A dynamic grid on a form is a type of repeating section that allows users of the Oracle InForm-Oracle Argus Safety integration to manually select records that must be part of a safety case, based on their clinical judgment.

To create a dynamic grid:

1. At the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Visit Schedule () button.
2. Expand the visit with the form you want to add the section to, right-click the form, and select New Section.
3. Enter a Title, RefName, and Description, and click OK.

   Note:

   Oracle recommends adding the sections in the order you want them to appear on the form. However, you can change the order in which the items appear in the dynamic grid within Oracle InForm by selecting the item and clicking Move Up or Move Down.
4. Make sure the Design tab is selected and mark the section as Dynamic Grid in the check box.
5. In the Create Target Items from Source for “(dynamic grid title)” Section dialog box, enter the following information:
   • In Search for Source Item, at the top of the dialog box, select the visit, form, and (optionally) section that contain the items you want to make available to the Oracle InForm site user’s collection of related data and click Add.

     Note:

     The source item you select must be Editable or ReadOnly, and repeating on one level (repeating form with a flat section or a flat form with a repeating section).
   • In Item to be Added to “(dynamic grid title)” Section, at the bottom of the dialog box, select either Item level or Data point as the type of mapping you want for each item. For more information, see What are item level mapping and data point mapping in a dynamic grid?

     Note:

     The default mapping level for every item is Item level. To convert any item to a Data point item, click its check box in the Convert to New Item column.
6. Optionally, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to configure the order of the items in the dynamic grid section.
7. Click OK.
8. (Optional) If multiple source items must be available in the dynamic grid (for example an Adverse Event form and a pregnancy form), you can add additional sources to the same dynamic grid. For more information, see Add or remove multiple sources in a dynamic grid.
9. (Optional) To create an item directly in the dynamic grid, select a type of item from the list in the Type column, and then enter a Title, RefName, Question and Short Question. Items added directly in the dynamic grid are editable items, but you can opt to map them to a source. For more information, see Add or remove multiple sources in a dynamic grid.
10. In the Project Explorer, select the form with the dynamic grid section, and select the Layout tab.
11. Accommodate the layout setting for the dynamic grid to match the largest of the items you plan to use as sources. For example, if you have multiple text sources with different character limits, always use the one that allows the most characters as the basis for your dynamic grid.

    Note:

    The amount of data copied onto the Safety Case form differs based on the type of source form. For example, for adverse events, copy over only the information the site needs to confirm that they selected the correct AE. All other information does not need to be copied for AEs. For AEs, the data can be split between forms to go to Oracle Argus Safety if you are using Oracle InForm Publisher 2.1.1 or higher.
