What is study administration data?

For a study that you deploy to Oracle InForm, you can include the following study administration data. For some of the data, you create the objects in Oracle Central Designer, and populate them in Oracle InForm.

• Sponsor information—Details about the study sponsor.
• System settings—Oracle InForm-specific system settings.
• Item group—A group of items that you want to assign the same display override access settings (Hidden, Editable, or Read-only). You create item groups, and add them to rights groups. In Oracle InForm or your organization's user management tool, you add users to the rights groups, and those users have the specified access to the items in the item groups.
• Rights group—A container for a set of rights that you create in Oracle Central Designer, and assign users and rights to in Oracle InForm or your organization's user management tool. In Oracle Central Designer, you also add item groups to the rights groups to set the display override access settings for the items.
• Query group—A container for a set of users who can act on queries created by other members of the group in Oracle InForm. You create query groups in Oracle Central Designer, and then add users to them in Oracle InForm or your organization's user management tool.
• Signature group—A group of forms that require signature, and the signature type that is required for the forms. You create the signature group in Oracle Central Designer, and add users to the group in Oracle InForm or your organization's user management tool. The users that you add are granted the right to sign the forms in the group.

You can choose to deploy these settings with your study design, or in their own deployment package.
