Study Baselines Difference report

Level at which the report runs

The report runs at the study level.

Description

The report lists:

• Names of the project, study, and both baselines selected.
• Versions of the study for which each baseline was created.
• Date the report was generated and the name of the person who generated the report.

You can export the report to a comma-separated value (CSV) file type.

Note:

• At this time, the Study Baselines Difference report does not report differences for study administration data, notes, or tasks.
• The Study Baselines Difference report only reports on study objects that exist in a baseline. As a result, because baselines only include study objects in the study design, the Study Baselines Difference report does not report on study objects that are not in a study design.

Purpose

Use the report to compare the study objects in valid baselines. For each study object that changed, the report displays either detailed or grouped information.

• Detailed information—Lists the study objects that changed between the two baselines, and displays the following information for each changed study object:
  • RefName of the study object.
  • Name of the study object property.
  • Previous and current value of the property.
  • Whether the study object was added, deleted, or modified in the more recent baseline.
• Grouped information—Lists the study objects that changed between the two baselines and groups similar changes into a single difference for the study object. Displays whether the study object was added, deleted, or modified, but does not display details about the modification

Running the report decreases the amount of time it takes to determine the differences between two valid public study baselines.
