Usability/User Experience Enhancements

ClearTrial 5.6 includes new capabilities to let you get more done quickly and easily, making your ClearTrial experience even more powerful.

• Locations tab—The footer row displays the total number of locations and updates dynamically if the number of locations changes. The footer row also shows the total number of sites, the total number of subjects, the number of translations/dialects, the average length of MOH/FDA delays, and the weighted average of the investigator grant amounts.

• Treatment tab

  • Depending on the number of visits you specify, you can specify a treatment duration as short as one day or one week.

    • For a parallel trial design, you can specify one week with eight visits or one day with two visits.

    • For cross-over trial design, you can enter one week with seven visits or one day with one visit.

  • The number of subject visits can be greater than the treatment duration.

  • You can specify less than one minute of monitoring time for simple CRF pages per treatment arm schedule.

• Monitoring tab—In the On-Site Monitoring Schedule section, the total number of sites used in the plan is displayed.

• Meetings tab

  • You can show or hide excluded meetings in the Meetings list.

  • The number of meetings selected from the Meetings list is displayed at the top of the Meetings section.

  • You can sort attendees on Resource Type, Billing Rate Location, and Attendance Method by clicking the corresponding column headers. The order in which you click the column headers governs the sort. For example, Resource Type sorted by Billing Rate Location and then by Attendance Method.

• Task Manager

  • (Enterprise Edition only) The Distribution tab of a Major Task within Task Manager displays the number of weeks between the distribution start and end dates for each service provider/location. This allows you to quickly determine the number of weeks used for each country without having to count the individual rows of weeks.

  • You can copy a user-defined task by selecting the task and clicking the Copy Task button.

  • The Code field on the Task Details tab is now editable for ClearTrial-defined tasks. You can enter a code. You can edit it over time, when you edit the task later. You can also use it as a prefix to help order the list in which it is displayed in.

• Labor tab—(Enterprise Edition only) You can copy a user-defined Major Task by selecting the Major Task you want to copy and clicking the Copy Major Task button.

• Reports tab

  • When you run the Meetings Report for your plan, you will see two new options: Include Resources With No Meeting Hours and Use Resource Name Instead of Resource Type.

  • On the Plan Reports tab, a new plan-level report, Compare to Original, has been added to compare the current plan to its template or prior copy and quickly see differences or changes in fees and costs.

• Context-sensitive Help—Two capabilities have been added:

  • You can now select and copy the text from the context-sensitive help screens. When you click a field name to open the online help associated with the screen. The keystrokes depend on which browser you are using. For example, in Internet Explorer, click CTRL+SHIFT+DBL-CLICK. to copy the contents to the clipboard. In other browsers, these keystrokes make the text become selectable so you can copy all or part of the text.

  • The table of Major Tasks that appears in the help for the Labor tab is dynamic. It reflects tasks and Major Tasks that have been added or are unique to the current plan as well as any changes you make to the name or description.
