Access Data Management options

1. If not open already, click Home in the navigation bar to open the Home page and select a study from the Studies panel on the left.

   Note:

   For details on selecting a study, see Select a study.
2. Click Data Management in the navigation bar.
3. Do one of the following:

   • To view data and create discrepancies, click Listings. To see custom listings or validation check (VC) listings, scroll down the left panel and expand a data model.

   • To review and act on discrepancies, click Discrepancies.

   • To view how the data flows between the input model and the target model, click Data Flow. For example, a flow diagram shows the mapping between the models and indicates the success or failure of the data flow. It also indicates any warnings within the flow.
   • To create or manage custom listings, click Custom Listing Manager.

Select a lifecycle stage

Oracle DMW opens in the lifecycle stage you used in your last session. To change it, select a different stage from the Lifecycle drop-down menu at the top of the data shown within the Home, Study Configuration, or Data Management page. The stages you can choose are:

• Development. For studies and objects getting created or modified. When you check out an object, the new version is in Development.

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

• Production. For production data in live studies.

Depending on your account privileges, you may only have access to one or two lifecycle stages.

Customize the user interface display

Many pages that use tables in Oracle DMW allow you to customize the columns and rows during your session.

Note:

Oracle DMW displays up to 500 records at a time. If your study includes more than 500 records, use the filter options as described in Create a new filter or the search fields to located them.

See one of the following sections for details:

• Sort rows by column values
  
• Refresh
  

Sort rows by column values

You can sort data in a single column or up to three columns. For example:

• To sort on one column, click the up and down arrows in the column heading to sort the data in ascending or descending order. You may need to widen the column to see the arrows.

• To sort on up to three columns (for all tables except the ones in the Listings or Discrepancies pages):

  1. Select View from the toolbar at the top of the table. Then select Sort > Advanced.

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

  3. In the first Then By field, select the secondary column to sort on and then select Ascending or Descending. Within the sort order you specified in step 2, the system sorts records in the order you specify

  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 2 and 3, the system sorts records in the order you specify here.

  5. Click OK.

Refresh

Click Refresh from the navigation bar for Listings or Discrepancies pages or the Refresh icon from the upper-right corner of a table for other pages to see any changes that occurred since you opened the page. Other users can work on data or discrepancies you view and you may need to refresh the page to see the latest content.
