Make an in-place revision change to a deployed study

For a study that you deploy to Oracle InForm release 6.1 or later:

  1. At the bottom of the Project Explorer, click the Forms and Transactions (Forms and Transactions button) button, and expand the InForm folder and the Forms folder, if necessary.
  2. Select a form, and then select the Layout tab.
  3. Select an item question or section header on which to apply the in-place revision.
    • To add or remove a codelist subset, select the item question.
    • To make an in-place revision change to an existing item in a codelist subset, select the section header.
    • To make an in-place revision change to an existing item in a non-repeating section, select the item question.
    • To make an in-place revision change to an existing item in a repeating section, select the section header.
    • To add an item to a section (repeating, or dynamic grid), select the section header.
  4. At the top of the Layout tab, all the way to the right, click IPR Configuration.
  5. On the IPR Configuration screen, type a description of the change (optional).
  6. Select or add the deployment instance to associate with the in-place revision.
  7. Optionally, to compare the form containing the revised study object with the same form from an existing InForm study version, click View Differences. For more information, see View the differences between two versions of a form.
  8. Select the study version or versions to apply the change to, and click OK.
  9. If your in-place revision includes any of the following changes to a form or section that is used as a source form for a dynamic grid section, you must apply the same in-place revision change to the dynamic grid section:
    • Remove an item from a source form or section.
    • Modify an item in a source form or section.
    • Add an item to a source form or section, and map that item to a dynamic grid section.

    Tip:

    If you want to add a form or section and use it as a source form for a dynamic grid, you need to create a new study version, rather than an in-place revision.
  10. Next, contact the person who does study validation at your organization to validate and deploy the study.
