Schedule of Events table in the Annotated Study Book:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Element |
If the study design uses study elements, they appear in the first row, and the study events in each study element are grouped under the study element columns. Note: The study element name for the special Screening and Enrollment visits is System. |
Assessment |
Study events are listed in study workflow order, as they appear in the workflow editor for the study design or study element. The heading of each visit column shows the study event title, short title (in parentheses), and visit type (in square brackets). Visit types:
|
CRF | Short title of each form, or blank if the ShortTitle property is not defined. |
Visit Start Hours |
The visit start hour appears for study events. The visit start hour is a calculated value based on the scheduling specified for the study workflow. The start hour for the special Screening and Enrollment visits is zero. If the first visit after the Screening and Enrollment visits is not scheduled in the study workflow, its start hour is also zero. |

RDE Analytics tables
RDE Analytics tables are listings of the column names that are generated when study data is extracted to the Oracle InForm reporting database.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Data Variable | Title of the item for which the column names are generated, or RefName if Show Object RefNames is selected in the Annotated Study Book Options dialog box. |
RD Column Name |

Note: For each form, items that are outside of a section on a form and items that are in a nonrepeating section are included in a table. If a form contains a repeating section, each repeating section has its own table and the items in the repeating section are listed in the corresponding table for the repeating section. |
