How do I mark a shared study objet as an in-place revision?

The following examples illustrate two ways to apply an in-place revision to a shared study object, with the same results when deployed to Oracle Health Sciences InForm.

Method 1

Vital Signs 1 and Vital Signs 2 contain the shared item BP. You deploy the study and later edit both forms by adding mmHg as caption text on the BP item. Next, you create a single in-place revision on the Vital Signs 1 form, specifying that the change applies to the previously deployed Vital Signs 1 and Vital Signs 2 forms upon deployment.

The in-place revision icon appears only on the Vital Signs 1 form in Oracle Central Designer.

After deployment, the mmHg caption appears on both forms in Oracle Health Sciences InForm.

  • Original forms in Oracle Central Designer and Oracle Health Sciences InForm:


    Vital Signs

  • Forms in Oracle Central Designer after the caption is updated and the in-place revision is created:


    Vital Signs 2

  • Forms in Oracle Health Sciences InForm after deployment of the in-place revision:


    Vital Signs 3

Method 2

For the same set of forms with the same caption changes to the deployed study, you create:

  • A single in-place revision on the Vital Signs 1 form, specifying that the change applies to the previously deployed Vital Signs 1 form upon deployment.
  • A single in-place revision on the Vital Signs 2 form, specifying that the change applies to the previously deployed Vital Signs 2 form upon deployment.

The in-place revision icon appears on both the Vital Signs 1 and Vital Signs 2 forms in Central Designer.

After deployment, the mmHG caption appears on both forms in Oracle Health Sciences InForm.

  • Original forms in Oracle Central Designer and Oracle Health Sciences InForm:


    Vital Signs

  • Forms in Oracle Central Designer after the caption is updated and the in-place revision is created:


    Vital Signs 2

  • Forms in Oracle Health Sciences InForm after deployment of the in-place revision:


    Vital Signs 3
