Overview: InForm user interface

The InForm application windows contain three panes: the navigation pane, the content pane, and the content-specific pane. As you move through the InForm application, the contents of the panes vary, depending on your trial and the activities you are performing, but the purpose of each pane stays the same.

Navigation—Contains several features that help you navigate:
- A set of buttons and a list of recently visited pages. These controls enable you to navigate throughout the InForm application. The buttons are always visible and do not change, so you can jump easily from activity to activity.
- A Find Patient search box. You can enter a patient number and navigate directly to the information for that patient.
- The name of the trial, which appears above the personal photo or logo.
Content—Displays the screen for the current activity; for example, summary lists, forms, details of queries, comments, audit trails, reports, and listings.
Content-specific—Displays contents that vary depending on the information in the content pane; for example, if the content pane displays a summary list of queries, the content-specific pane contains buttons that allow you to display one page of queries at a time. If the content pane displays a form and you have the authority to enter form data, the content-specific pane contains buttons that allow you to submit data or cancel data entry.

Note: When you are working with the InForm application, do not use the web browser refresh button. This action can cause problems for the trial.
