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:

• Create radio buttons on your item
• Create checkboxes on your item
• Create a drop-down list on your team

1. In the upper-right above the section's table, click the Fixed Table icon ().
2. 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.
3. Optionally, to view only fixed items in the fixed repeating section in the table, deselect Show non-fixed columns.
4. Click Add Row.
5. 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.
6. Optionally, to modify the rows, use the buttons on the right of the dialog box.
7. Click OK.
