Sample trials
The InForm software includes the components of sample trials that you can install to familiarize yourself with the software and the types of trial components that are available. During the InForm software installation you can select the sample trials to install.
The PFST sample trial, which comes with the InForm software, includes only trial metadata. You can install this version by using an installation script to obtain a complete set of trial components, including sample users that enable you to log on and add patients and patient data.
The PFST45 sample trial, which comes with the InForm software, includes components that illustrate the features of this release. PFST45 comes in the following forms:
- Trial metadata in XML format. You can install this version by using an installation script to obtain a complete set of trial components, including sample users that enable you to login and add patients and patient data. For more information, see Installing PFST45 trial using metadata in XML format (no sample data).
- An Oracle dump consisting of Base and PFST45-specific trial components and a collection of patients and sample clinical data. This version, which is also fully functional with sample users, enables you to learn about InForm features and to run reports without having to add patients and patient data. You can install this version by using a set of Oracle and InForm commands. For more information, see Installing PFST45 Trial using Oracle dump file (has sample data).
The installation procedure for PFST45 trial metadata and PFST trial metadata is the same.
