How do I specify these new subject settings?

On the Subject Settings tab, select values for the following new settings:

• Leading Zeros in First Subject Number

  Enter the number of leading zeros in the first subject number. The number of leading zeros decreases as the number of digits in the subject number increases. For instance, if you choose to use 3 zeros, your first subject number might be 0001. Subject 99 has a subject number of 0099 (with only 2 leading zeros), and subject 100 has a subject number of 0100 (with only 1 leading zero).

  Default: 3

• Include Hyphen in Subject Numbers

  Choose whether to include a hyphen between the subject number and site ID.

  Default: No

• Subject Numbering

  Choose whether subject numbers are sequential across all sites in a study or are sequential at each site.

  Default: Sequential at Sites

Reminder: You have to specify these settings for all 3 modes.

Another change on this tab: The buttons for Production, Testing, and Training Settings are now always along the top of the tab rather than the left side. If you use Oracle Clinical One Platform on a smaller screen, such as a laptop, that's probably the place you've been seeing the buttons all along.

Important related changes for the first subject number

• In a new study created after this system update, the default value for First Subject Number is now blank.

  Previously, the field had a default value of 4,000.

• Additionally, you now can't activate a site until a value is specified for the First Subject Number field for the mode that the site is in (for instance, you have to specify the first subject number for Testing mode before you can activate a Testing site).

New: Specify settings 1 time and apply them to all modes

You no longer need to specify the same subject settings 3 times. Now you can specify settings for one mode and then apply your changes to all 3 modes. You still have the option of applying your changes to a single mode.

Already working in a study?

• The First Subject Number setting won't change after the system update. The value that existed before the system update, whether it was the default value or a value that you set, will still be saved.
• You can specify values for the new fields, but keep in mind that changes will apply only to subjects created after the system update. Existing subject numbers won't be updated to follow the new formatting rules.
• Need to change First Subject Number after you've screened subjects?
  • If you move to a higher value, keep in mind that there will be a gap in the subject numbers.
  • If you move to a lower value, no need to worry about having duplicate subject numbers because subject numbers are never reused. Any previously assigned subject numbers are skipped when new subjects are added.
