Select a study

1. Go to the Home page.

   If not, find the study:

   1. Select the study's category from the drop-down list (optional).

   2. In Filter Studies field, type all or part of the name of the study.

   3. Press Enter or click the Search icon.

      The system displays all studies that contain the string you typed.

      To clear the filter, click the Remove Filter icon.

   4. Select a study.

Note:

The next time you log in, the system displays the last study you were working in. You must select it to work in it.

Go to the data management pages

1. Click the Data Management icon at the top of any page.
2. Do one:

   • To view data and create discrepancies, stay on the Listings tab. To see validation check or custom listings, scroll down in the left pane.

   • To review and act on discrepancies, click the Discrepancies tab.

Select a lifecycle stage

DMW opens in the lifecycle stage you used in your last session. To change, select a different stage from the Lifecycle drop-down list at the top of any page under Data Management, Study Configuration, or Home:

• Development is for studies and objects being created or modified. When an object is checked out, the new version is in Development.

• Quality Control is for studies and objects being tested. It corresponds to UAT in InForm.

• Production is for production data in live studies.

You may have access to only one or two lifecycle stages.

Change the user interface display

Many pages in the user interface that are laid out like tables with columns and rows allow you to change the data display during your current session. See one of the following sections for details.

• Sort rows by column values
  
• Show, hide, and reorder selected columns
  
• Change column order
  
• Refresh
  

Sort rows by column values

The system sorts only the records that are currently displayed. For example, if there are a total of 400 rows but the page shows only 50 at a time, when you sort by column value, only the 50 currently displayed rows are sorted.

• To sort on one column, click the up and down arrows on the column heading. You may need to widen the column to see the arrows.

• To sort on up to three column values:

  1. Select View, then select Sort, then Advanced.

  2. In the Sort By field, select the primary column to sort on and then select either Ascending or Descending order.

  3. In the first Then By field, select the secondary column to sort on and either Ascending or Descending. Within the sort order you specified in Step 1, the system sorts records in the order you specify here.

  4. In the second Then By field, select the tertiary column to sort on and either Ascending or Descending. Within the sort order you specified in Steps 1 and 2, the system sorts records in the order you specify here.

  5. Click OK.

Show, hide, and reorder selected columns

1. Select View, then select Columns, then Manage Columns. The system displays all available columns, with a check next to those that are currently displayed. To add or hide a single column, click the column name in the list.
2. Use the arrows to move columns from the Hidden Columns area to the Visible Columns area or the reverse. You can also reorder columns here.
3. Click OK.

Change column order

Drag and drop columns on the page or:

1. Select View, and then select Reorder Columns.
2. Use the arrows to move columns up or down. Columns at the top of the list are displayed leftmost on the page.
3. Click OK.

Refresh

Click the Refresh icon to see any changes that have occurred since you opened the window. Other users may be working on data or discrepancies you are viewing, and data may have been loaded.

Query by example

In many windows, you can filter data using empty fields displayed above columns.

1. If blank fields above the columns are not displayed, click the Query By Example icon.
2. Enter text in one or more fields above a column heading. Use the wildcard % before the text to return all values containing the text.
3. Press Enter.

To clear query values, click the Clear Filter icon.

Use online help

• Hover over fields with a dotted underline to get information about the field.

• Click the Help icon to see information about the window you are on.

  Tip:

  If you expand the Help window and lose context, click the same help icon again with the window expanded.
